Autonomous lawn mowers (lawn mower robots) are a thing for about ten years now over here in Germany. I see them everywhere, just silently and slowly rolling around and mowing around the clock.

They are also very efficient in killing hedge hogs and frogs and the likes - humans pushing a lawn mower trend to keep such animals alive whereas the robots simply shred them. They have no device to detect small animals and nobody cares to implement any which says a lot about humankind.

I understand how frogs would get caught up in it.....but you'd think hedgehogs would run away before it gets them.

Turns out they can't. It really happens often.
