Self-propelled agricultural harvester and method for operating a self-propelled agricultural harvester

A self-propelled agricultural harvester comprising:

• a cutting unit configured to cut and pick up harvested material;
• and
• a driver assistance system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory for storing data, wherein the driver assistance system together with the cutting unit form an automated cutting unit that is configured to:
• select, by a driver assistance system that associated with the agricultural harvester and forms together with the cutting unit an automated cutting unit, at least one harvesting process strategy from a plurality of harvesting process strategies, in performing an automatic harvesting process on a field;
• autonomously select, by the driver assistance system, at least one cutting unit parameter, the at least one cutting unit parameter for implementing the selected at least one harvesting process strategy and being specified to the cutting unit, wherein the cutting unit is controlled according to the selected at least one harvesting process strategy;
• autonomously detect a respective harvesting process deviation, from a plurality of potential harvesting process deviations, on the field that is being worked or to be worked, with the plurality of harvesting process deviations indicative of different deviations from regulating the cutting unit according to the selected at least one harvesting process strategy in performing the automatic harvesting process on the field;
• and
• responsive to autonomously detecting the respective harvesting process deviation:
• autonomously select, from a plurality of deviation regulation sequences, a respective deviation sequence correlated to the respective harvesting process deviation that is detected;
• and
• autonomously implement the respective deviation sequence to temporarily override control of the cutting unit according to the selected at least one harvesting process strategy.
