EAVISION Autonomous Drones: GPS-Free Terrain-Following & Smart Spraying

I recently read a detailed Medium article on EAVISION’s autonomous drone system. I work as a custom sprayer in the Midwest and have followed ag drone trends for years. This write-up is one of the most technical I’ve seen, so I wanted to break it down and hear your thoughts. EAVISION combines terrain-following radar with visual sensors to hold a steady height above the crop canopy, even in valleys or near trees. It also scans crop density in real time and adjusts spray rates on the fly. The article claims up to 30% chemical savings and consistent coverage compared to blanket spraying. The platform handles takeoff, landing, obstacle avoidance, and multi-battery missions. It even flies at night using its sensor suite, which could be a game-changer for time-sensitive pest control. The author cites stats like 30x faster coverage than manual spraying and zero wheel-track damage. Has anyone used EAVISION drones on real farms? How well does the terrain-following work on steep slopes or tall crops? Does the variable-rate system misread weeds or uneven stands? And how do BVLOS regulations affect night operations? Drop your experiences and tips below.
