A laser-bladed (laser-bladed!) ride-on lawn mower, built on a roadworthy Smart Car chassis, complete with onboard Internet access.
The laser mowing system cuts the grass almost silently and much more finely than any existing blade or flail system. It is also extremely accurate, trimming the lawn to the set cutting height with a resolution of one millimeter.
