#2Automated cows. Wow... I honestly never thought I would hear of such a thing.
It totally makes sense though!

#3It’s weird but I get it. We already did fences so why not a collar I guess. Might be more anxiety inducing though. I prefer walls myself over a collar

Umm, that sounds… labor intensive?

Quite likely you only need to train the leaders in each herd of 100 - 200. The leaders will keep the rest in line.

Cows already obey electric fences which are basically just a piece of string. (When really stressed/agitated they walk right through electric fences, apparently without much additional distress.)
This is just a wireless electric fence. Cue joke about the old lady and radio telegraphy[1]. :-)

#9Love to see this tech adapted to small rodents. Would provide new measures of learning and memory in complex environments.

That was the theme of Quake2: captured humans were "automated" with implants. Today we start with cows, in 50 years we extend this to violent criminals and who knows, maybe in 100 years most of us will be automated for "safety reasons".
