According to AI TIMES, Daedong said on October 6 that it will operate an AI tractor test-drive program centered on 29 dealerships nationwide. The event is designed to let farmers drive the tractors themselves and check autonomous work functions and usability, and Daedong said it is focusing on expanding customer touchpoints through the end of the year. The company said it opted for an experience-centered approach because simple product explanations or spec comparisons alone make it difficult to convey the strengths of AI agricultural machinery. In particular, it aims to let users assess on-site factors that matter in actual work, such as route setting, autonomous driving methods, and the level of driver intervention. Applications for test drives are being accepted through the company website and customer center, and each regional center will coordinate schedules. Daedong plans to use this as an opportunity to further expand dealership-based hands-on experiences and increase touchpoints where AI-based farm work can take root in the field.
Perspective
This program shows that the standard for agricultural machinery sales is shifting from machine performance to real-world operating experience. In the end, market competition is also likely to be reorganized around proving how easily products can be used on-site and how quickly they translate into efficiency, rather than spec sheets. Daedong’s emphasis on hands-on touchpoints can be read as an effort not only to raise awareness of the technology, but also to lower customers’ psychological barriers to a new way of working. This is a trend that could eventually change both the purchase decision process and the role of distribution channels in related markets.
