Abstract
A method and system for automatically removing undesirable vegetation is provided. The method includes receiving by a first vehicle, data describing a specified geographical area for scanning. The specified geographical area is divided into a plurality of sectors and a second vehicle is directed to a first sector of the plurality of sectors. First geographical coordinates associated with areas of undesirable vegetation growth located within the first sector are receiving from the second vehicle and an optimal travel path from a current location of the first vehicle to the areas of undesirable vegetation growth located within first sector are determined based on analysis of the first geographical coordinates. The first vehicle is directed to the areas of undesirable vegetation growth via the optimal travel path and a process for eliminating the areas of undesirable vegetation growth is executed.
