Forget Cars, The Self-Driving Stroller Is Coming

Smartbe that was introduced as the first intelligent stroller on the planet uses a motion-tracking sensor to tail you wherever you go allowing for hands-free strolling or an assisted push.

Like every extraordinary thought these days, the Smartbe is presently in its crowd-funding stage on IndieGogo. On the other hand, if all goes effectively, the stroller will effortlessly be the most-decked out child carrier ever made.

In addition to an electric engine that will help with movement, the stroller will likewise include wireless speakers so your child can rock out, a bottle warmer, a rocker, three retractable canopies and a temperature-controlled bassinet. As for safety features, the Smartbe will have directional signs, internal and outer cameras and an anti-theft alarm.

The controls for the stroller will be accessible utilising a control board incorporated with the stroller's handle or through your iOS or Android application. The electric engine will have three modes: self-propelled that will use measurement sensors to keep a consistent distance, assist-propelled that pushes the stroller for you like a lawnmower and manual mode that transforms your stroller into an ordinary one.

The battery life is required to keep going for 6 hours and in addition to the greater part of its nifty features previously stated, it will likewise charge your cell phone. However, these features will certainly come at a price. The crowd-funding campaign has a couple levels of funding but to really own one of these strollers with all the bells and whistles, it will cost you $3,199 plus shipping. And on top of that, they aren't hoping to ship the strollers until April 2017.

In terms of safety, the strollers' page asserts that all the technologies applied in Smartbe have already been used and extensively tested in other industries. In any case, the unavoidable issue stays unanswered: are parents willing to trust the stroller with their children?
