Developing fully Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) that can go everywhere has proven harder and more expensive than expected, but investors are continuing to fund startups that target simpler self-driving vehicle solutions far removed from pedestrians and other vehicles operated by unpredictable humans.\nEarlier promises made by robotaxi companies of operating fleets of vehicles by the early 2020s have fallen well short.\nBMW iVentures has also invested in AV truck technology firm Kodiak Robotics, which managing partner Sage said has adopted a simpler approach to areas like mapping.\nConstruction and agricultural equipment - used off-road in low-traffic environments - has been another growth area for AV startups.\nUS agricultural equipment maker AGCO Corp, for instance, is using the Palo Alto, California-based startup's software for an experimental automated electric planter.
