I see they're also going for the long con of trying to disrupt Nvidia's card naming scheme 3 generations down the line

If they know it's limited, why not just provide serial numbers for owners to check? Or some sort of reference point? This feels like they're avoiding responsibility to likely save money/face.

AMD always has a weird way of putting their foot in their mouth.

Save more stress and don't have the kid at all if a stroller is causing problems

A "limited number." Sure, it's not an infinite number. But after AMD went out of their way to pile on nVidia, low key claiming they intentionally picked a different power connector, because nVidia's were melting, you'd think they'd take this more seriously. Considering the power connector affected less than 1% of RTX cards, and this is hitting double digits of people with a horizontally-mounted GPU (which is the standard layout).

Shit man..
Just something easily turnable with one hand is all I need.

I never had that issue with any of the prams or buggies I used. And pulling 14kg of buggy (to the bus or up the stairs) seems too heavy for anyone - mums or grandparents..

Hmm…maybe…just maybe…don’t have kids if pushing them is stressful to you?

No one, not even the company. Per the article and promo video, it only "self-drives" when empty. If loaded, it has intelligent breaking and assisted climbing for hills. The title is a bit clickbaity.

When you read the article / watch the promo video, it makes a lot more sense. It only "self-drives" when empty, and provides the benefits of assisted breaking and climbing for hilly areas. This would be a godsend for the grandparents... but expensive.

I thought the same thing when I read the headline. However, after I read the article they point out that it's only "self-driving" when empty.

The headline is quite a bit of clickbait, IMO. The stroller will only self-drive if empty and even then it's very limited. The use case they highlight is if your little one wants to walk or be carried, you can do that and not have to push the stroller... which, whatever. They buried the lede here, because the real benefit is smart breaking and motor assistance uphill. As someone that lives in a hilly area of SF, this stroller would be awesome.
Self-driving when empty makes sense, because no fucking way am I trusting my kids to sit inside a self-driving stroller. The price is definitely high, but this is aimed in the luxury market, which already has strollers around this range anyway.

Fair. Heavier is probably harder to load and unload from the car, and climb stairs, even if it is motorized. Still, might be preferable when you know you have a long day with a lot of walking.

That would be terrible. Anyone who's ever had kids and strollers knows the last thing you want is something heavier.

Just finished my kidney stone surgery (had a stone stuck in ureter) and doctor ordered the 24 urine collection. You just eat your normal, daily foods for 24 hours.

The attention should always be focused on the baby. I can see where it would be handy to have it follow you when you are carrying the baby but what if parents focus on the task at hand, think the baby is in the stroller and following them but baby is not in the stroller? What if it catches fire, runs out of power? I bet it’s heavy and probably harder to maneuver.

Europe’s infrastructure would like a HUGE word with you… TL;DR, Europe is way more developed. I guess that’s what happens when the local government gives more than half a rats ass about its people.
Check out their public transport for example. It’s fucking amazing
Edit: lol. My TLDR was longer than my tidbit. How great.

The “pedal assist” and downhill regenerative breaking would be nice honestly.
