This probably isn't the best solution if you have kids or pets. I'm not so concerned about kids getiing their hands and feet whacked (though it is something to think about) as I am about the unavoidable wayward toy causing irreperable damage to an expensive mower. Not to mention little Sally's distress as she watches Robo-Mow turn her prized barbie collection into plastic mulch in one fell swoop. 
I'd also have nightmares about the little electronic fence going bad and the mower cruising across the street into the neighbor kid's play area. Call me a control freak, but I don't have so much confidence in AI just yet to give it sole control of a potentially harmful/deadly tool in an uncontrolled environment. A fence would easily remedy that I guess.
