Could you build this?

No Self-driving testing requires specialized robotics, physical simulation, deep learning autonomous vehicle models, and safety validation frameworks.

What it would actually take: A complete autonomous vehicle testing suite requires high-fidelity physics and sensor simulation engines (such as CARLA, NVIDIA DRIVE Sim, or Unreal Engine integration) with realistic sensor models (LiDAR, RADAR, camera intrinsics). The architecture involves distributed scenario runners, closed-loop control validation against AV software stacks (e.g., Apollo, Autoware, or custom end-to-end models), and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) interfaces. Developing this requires specialized robotics engineers, computer vision experts, and extensive simulation testing infrastructure.

Same idea, different domain

Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
