We have already talked a lot about autonomous cars. We are up to our ears to listen to the adventures of the Tesla Motors autopilot and the advances in this type of technology. However, what we want are really useful things, and What is more useful than a shopping cart that moves only through the store while we look at our shopping list on the mobile? I don't know about you, but I would love to stop dragging the happy cars, this will save us many impacts against cars driven by grannies or infants in anger. Let's see the details of this Walmart patent on shopping carts.
- Patent Yoga, who is always eye to eye on new patents in the world of technology, has been the one who has found this autonomous system for driving shopping carts. These use a visual control system similar to that of Roomba, the autonomous broom. It also shares with this type of system the aesthetic resemblance, especially due to its cubic shape. In this way, we are facing the possible end of manual shopping carts. The patent suggests that we can actively and traditionally control the car, or select the autonomous condition, according to our own wishes.
The device will be placed at the bottom of the shopping carts, in this way the sensors will calculate the distances of the cart and will know how to navigate the store. However, are not information confirmed by WalmartBy this we mean that it was probably an idea that is planned to be carried out in the long term, or that it could even have already been eliminated from the projects. However, it is gratifying to see autonomous driving technology becoming more and more important in our daily lives.
