    Re: I Want One

    I want to know how the stroller can "follow" two feet in front and know where she's going to turn or go straight. I smell a fake video and a product still in development.
    Thanks, but I'd rather just watch:

    I think this is better suited for rough terrain.
    Wouldn't rather have one of these ?

    Not sure why, but those Boston Dynamics robots really creep me out.

    Me too! As far as the stroller goes, I have the same question posed by mdarnton: how does where to turn when it is not following someone?

    I would rather have one of these:

    Between the stroller being self-propelled, heated, and having many other electronic doodads what could go wrong? Ok maybe for a camera, but I don't think I'll be putting a child in one.

    And YES!!! the Boston Dynamis robots are creepy and scary

    Looks like you're right about that. Its production timeline is on its website and it's now in the "alpha prototype design review" stage. Shipping the self propelled version isn't expected to happen until Ap., 2017. And its price tag is around $20,000.00!

    Good point

    Hacked drones attack owners.

    AI rises and attacks stupid (all) humans.

    Battery fires. Chicago today seized a warehouse full of Hoverboards which are not UL approved and are part of the 'Killer Hoverboard' sneak attack.

    Beware of batteries.
