      In the video they say it can go into shops and the such, rather than just the gate. Since people with mobility challenges would be using this, I imagine they’d prefer the self driving option over having to navigate by themselves.

      I’m thinking grandparents for example

        When my grandfather had a mobility scootie was an absolute nightmare with it. He was absolutely not someone who should have been in control of the vehicle, I fully support it driving itself.

        He used to drive everywhere at top speed. Dangerous lunatic.

          Want? Do you think it just sort of drives around wherever it wants? I’m pretty sure you can tell it where to go

          It would be a pretty useless device otherwise. “Lets* go on a trip I wonder where we’ll go”
