Segway debuts fully automated Navimow i110N robot lawn mower with satellite positioning
Segway debuts its new Navimow i110N Robot Lawn Mower on Amazon after a successful European launch that began two weeks ago. Now available for pre-order, the new i Series models are designed for yards up to 1/4-acre in size and introduce the company’s updated Exact Fusion Location System 2.0, a vision-enhanced RTK GPS, alongside AI-assisted mapping functionality to meticulously navigate complex terrain and adapt to any changes as they appear.
“With Navimow i coming to Amazon, we’re making effortless, affordable robotic lawn care available across the US. We harnessed the power of AI robotics to make our tech work hard so consumers don’t have to. This latest offering provides a host of smart features delivering an easy-to-use product at a competitive price point, making the i Series more accessible than almost every other robotic mower on the market.”
George Ren, CEO of Segway Navimow.
The Navimow i110N requires no perimeter wires, instead opting for advanced and automatic AI-assisted mapping to provide more convenient and effortless lawn care. Setup only takes a few taps on your smartphone – simply plot out your lawn’s boundaries and let the automated system of the robot take over. From here the robot will navigate within the set borders, identifying and assessing the optimal route to cover the entire space, debris and all. Once it begins mowing, it will not stop until it completes the job – even pausing upon a low battery to return to its station for recharging and resuming once it is back to full power.
The standout feature is the improved Exact Fusion Location System 2.0 that works in tandem with the AI-assistance, elevating its capabilities above the more standard robot mowers that are currently on the market. However complicated your garden space or overall terrain may be, this mower’s RTK (real-time kinematic) technology that utilizes satellite navigation systems will be able to keep track of the robot’s positioning within a few centimeters’ difference – even when it may disappear under trees or through narrow corridors. This feature also doubles as a security measure, allowing you to track the robot’s real-time location in cases of theft.
Compared to other robot mowers that may rely on ultrasonic sensors or bumpers to identify obstacles or structures, this new model sports a 140-degree field-of-view camera with built-in AI algorithms to detect many different types of commonly found objects and adjust routes around them. With these systems working together, this mower can safely traverse around shrubs, trees, fallen branches, garden borders, playing children, animals, and the natural twists and turns of the landscape.
Aside from the automated performance of the Navimow i110N, you will have complete smart controls over its actions and settings. Through the companion app you can set schedules, mark off-limit zones, or otherwise customize the robot’s mowing route and settings – with enough memory for 12 different zones. It also comes with an IP66 waterproof rating to withstand the elements and a Ride-on Boundary mode that allows it to perfectly straddle boundary lines, maintaining the crisp edges that many other robotic mowers struggle to reach.
All-in-all, you’ll have everything you’ll need right out of the box. You’ll get the robot itself, a charging station and installation kit with power supply, an extension cable as well as pegs to secure the cable – depending on where you plan to place the station – spare blades and bolts, and both an antenna to connect to the satellite system alongside the antenna’s installation kit.
With Segway’s Navimow i110N you can “set it and forget it” as you go about your life as usual
Segway’s new Navimow i110N will be available in two models, one for 1/8-acre yards and one for 1/4-acre yards. The 1/4-acre model is now available for pre-order on Amazon with a $1,299 price tag, while the 1/8-acre model has yet to be added, but should be coming relatively soon. Shipping is scheduled to begin March 25.

EV sales kept up their momentum in December 2024, with incentives playing a big role, according to the latest Cox Automotive’s Kelley Blue Book report.
December’s strong EV sales saw an average transaction price (ATP) of $55,544, which helped push the industry-wide ATP higher, according to Kelley Blue Book. The December ATP for an EV was higher year-over-year by 0.8%, slightly below the industry average, and higher month-over-month by 1.1%. Tesla ATPs were higher year-over-year by 10.5%.
Incentives for EVs remained elevated in December, although they were slightly lower month-over-month at 14.3% of ATP, down from 14.7% in November.
EV incentives were higher by an impressive 41% year-over-year and have been above 12% of ATP for six consecutive months. Strong sales incentives, which averaged more than $6,700 per sale in 2024, were one reason EV sales surpassed 1.3 million units last year, according to Cox Automotive, a new record for volume and share.
(My colleague Jameson Dow reported yesterday, “In 2024, the world sold 3.5 million more EVs than it did in the previous year … This increase is larger than the 3.2 million increase in EV sales from the previous year – meaning that EV sales aren’t just up, but that the rate of growth is itself increasing.”)
Kelley Blue Book estimated that in December, approximately 84,000 vehicles – or 5.6% of total sales – transacted at prices higher than $80,000 – the highest volume ever. KBB lumps gas cars and EVs together into this luxury vehicle category, so this is where Tesla Cybertruck is slotted.
However, Tesla bundles sales figures of Cybertruck with Model S, Model X, and Tesla Semi(!) into a category it calls “other models,” so we don’t know for sure exactly how many Cybertrucks Tesla sold in Q4, much less in December. However, Electrek‘s Fred Lambert estimates between 9,000 and 12,000 Cybertrucks were sold in Q4, and that’s not a stellar sales figure.

Tesla is now claiming that Cybertruck was the ‘best-selling electric pickup in US’ last year despite not even reporting the number of deliveries.
There’s a lot of context needed here.
As we often highlighted, Tesla is sadly one of, if not the most, opaque automakers regarding sales reports.
Tesla doesn’t break down sales per model or even region.
For comparison, here’s Ford’s Q4 2024 sales report compared to Tesla’s:
You could argue that Tesla has fewer models than Ford, and that’s true, but Tesla’s report literally has two lines despite having six different models.
There’s no reason not to offer a complete breakdown like all other automakers other than trying to make it hard to verify the health of each vehicle program.
This has been the case with the Cybertruck. Tesla is bundling its Cybertruck deliveries with Model S, Model X, and Tesla Semi deliveries.
Despite this lack of disclosure, Tesla has been able to claim that the Cybertruck has become “the best-selling electric pickup truck” in the US in 2024:
It very well might be true. Ford disclosed 33,510 F-150 Lightning truck deliveries in the US in 2024 while most estimates are putting Cybertruck deliveries at around 40,000 units.
Those are global deliveries, but Tesla only delivered the Cybertruck in the US, Canada, and Mexico in 2024, and most of the deliveries are believed to be in the US.
However, there’s essential context needed here, as we highlighted in our recent ‘Tesla Cybertruck sales are disastrous‘ article.
First off, Tesla had a backlog of over 1 million reservations for the Cybertruck that it has been building since 2019. This led many to believe Tesla already had years of demand baked in for the truck and that production would be the constraint.
However, based on estimates, again, because Tesla refuses to disclose the data, Cybertruck deliveries were either flat or down in Q4 versus Q3 despite Tesla introducing cheaper versions of the vehicle and ramping up production.
Again, that’s after just about 40,000 deliveries.
Furthermore, with almost 11,000 deliveries in Q4 in the US, Ford more likely than not outsold Cybertruck with the F-150 Lightning in Q4.
Electrek’s Take
Tesla is in damage control here. There’s no doubt that it is having issues selling the Cybertruck.
Inventory is full of Cybertrucks and Tesla is now discounting them and offering free lifetime Supercharging.
Tesla is great at ramping up production, and it’s clear the Cybertruck is not production-constrained anymore. It is demand-constrained despite having over 1 million reservations.
Again, those reservations were made before Tesla unveiled the production version, which happened to have less range and cost significantly more.
The upcoming cheaper single motor version should help with demand, but I have serious doubts Tesla can ramp this program up to more than 100,000 units in the US.
As a reminder, Tesla installed a production capacity of 250,000 units annually and Musk said he could see Tesla selling 500,000 Cybertrucks per year.
