PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a work vehicle that improves safety by preventing start of autonomous travel due to an operators operational error.SOLUTION: An electric lawn mower 10 includes a control unit 110 that stores an autonomous travel program for performing autonomous travel, a communication unit 102 that can communicate with an operation terminal 120, a reception unit 101 for receiving a signal from a satellite, and an attachment/detachment detection unit 112 for detecting attachment of a unit 100 including the communication unit 102 and the reception unit 101 to a vehicle. The control unit 110 prohibits autonomous travel if the attachment/detachment detection unit 112 does not detect the attachment of the unit 100 to the vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 15
