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).

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.

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.
