There's absolutely no reason to do this, and yet it's awesome and I'm glad Husqvarna is doing it.<p>Now I want to look at a new robomower!
Fortunately this is opt-in. Imagine being that guy managing a fleet of these things mowing a giant golf course and three times a day just stop for no reason and start singing.
Was anyone else expecting a lawn-mower-based version of the Floppotron[0]?<p>(E.g. here's the Star Wars theme[1] played by the Floppotron, from the inventor's YouTube channel[2]).<p>[0] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppotron" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppotron</a><p>[1] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KS02q0BUnY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KS02q0BUnY</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/sh4dowww90/videos" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/user/sh4dowww90/videos</a>
Sounds fun and all, but mark my words - after a year or two we will see some bug reports about lawn mowers randomly singing "Happy Birthday", and no one will know why.
