I mow I break ribs, I mow I total mowers, I weed eat I land on my head, NOT ANYMORE

If it would do automatic "indexing" to make passes side-by-side like a regular mower. Mow-turn 180 degrees-mow-turn 180 the other way-mow and so on, THAT would get my interest. Otherwise, standing out there controlling the mower by radio is like sitting out there riding the thing.

iRobot an others are working on robotic mowers. If they are like the Roomba you will have to set some limits on the boundaries but otherwise you can let 'er rip.

In fact it could be electric (the Roomba brings itself back to the charger for recharging) so it could mow your lawn overnight.

There was DIY plans in Popular Electronics magazine. It used sensors to detect the cut/un-cut edge and follow it. You started it off by mowing the perimeter, and then it spiraled in towards the center all by itself.
