Hang onto your baby bonnets: Self-driving technology is coming to strollers.

Canadian-based baby gear startup Gluxkind was showing off its Ella AI Powered Smart Stroller at this year’s CES, the consumer electronics show in Las Vegas that offers some of the most cutting edge – and out-there – new technologies. The smart stroller offers much of the same tech seen in autonomous cars and delivery robots, including a dual-motor system for uphill walks and automatic downhill brake assist.

In another demo, a child is tired of sitting in the stroller and wants to be carried. The Ella strolls itself while the parent carries the child. Still self-driving technology isn’t totally proven and certainly not ready for prime time. Although companies that have implemented the technology in cars say they add an element of safety when used properly and the driver is paying attention, putting children in the care of AI may not be for everyone.

The next day the baby had died due to an fallen eletric stroller

Oh, the infamous cobra/tate aka smalldickenergy should have owned one. Unfortunately...

Well ... That's dumb lol.

If you don't want to hold the f***ing stroller, you better don't have kids.

Why?

Laziness

'Is there any way we can make having kids MORE expensive?'

what's the point then?

Tell me there was too much VC money being thrown around without telling me there was too much VC money being throw around…

Whats the point?

Then whts the fucking point? Man do i hate tech

Why? Like who fucking needs this

People asking, 'Why have a stroller if the child isn't inside?' clearly don't have kids. Sometimes, your kid refuses to stay in their stroller so you have to carry them or hold their hand as they walk next to you. Having to also push a stroller is cumbersome in that event.

It’s going to take out blind people

Is it bullet proof?

Who walks around with a stroller with no child in it?

Looks/works great but I just couldn't let a stroller roll my child down the street alone without me also holding onto it.

Why promote something like this while there are people starving and being enslaved in Africa and S America? Imagine what the world could accomplish if people dedicated their innovation towards helping the impoverished instead of dedicating their lives to corporate profit…

What’s the point of having a baby stroller self drive when there is no baby inside? Or are they assuming people will use it as a shopping cart?

God forbid you actually have to engage with your children. This makes me want to puke.

How can Republicans run our country when they can't even select a leader.

Great, give parents more stuff not to do while caring for a child. 🧐🇨🇦🇺🇦✌️

Reminds me of this:

Seriously bad idea

Now give me a self working job.

Hahaha a what..?

Oh thank the gods, screw them kids.

Kids will be kidnapped and driven off curbs into traffic bc parents are too lazy to push their kids. The worst idea ever

What could go wrong?

About as legit as the rest of the 'high quality news' you release 🤦🏻‍♂️

The worst idea in the world

No way will parents ever buy this, I feel like there's a possibility that this could harm your baby by steering it in the wrong direction into traffic

People will buy this and risk their new borns life. Fatalities will occur here. Faaark that.

Say something reasonable CNN

I'm going to invent the new mobile baby toilet. You place the baby on it--then, using it's wheels and space-age technological motor--it vrooms around classrooms, stores and the household letting the baby do it's business wherever it pleases.

Is this news! How about telling the truth!

This is stupid

Why?

Why

I wish the us government would pay inventors and companies working on useless shit like this to actually redirect their efforts into things that actually contribute to society instead of just being luxury shit items that do one thing different from a normal version.

Idiots! .

NOPE

I can see all kinds of wrong with this. Who thought this stupid stuff up. Who can afford it, and waiting runs your child right out in front of a car and kills it.

Fat people riding in strollers...coming to a Wal-Mart near you

That sounds safe 🤦‍♀️

Darling, forget the baby and save the strollers. 😳

Bring back hands-on active parenting, JFC. if you can’t be bothered to push a fucking stroller please do not bother procreating

What is the purpose of such idea? Adding more distance and disconnection between the baby and his mother/father?

What next? Automatic feeders?

Innovations Will wipe out hardwork 😴 🤣

Are they serious? Don't they have better things to do with their time

🖕🏼

What could possibly go wrong with a self driving stroller?

this is actually great, can’t afford it. might just steal one if i see it lol 😂 JK

Is parenting becoming that lazy and burdensome?

Why. Just why.

I see opportunity for parents in 🦽😄

News reciting robots coming to TV also. They don’t age or get paid.

Huh

Oh FFS , now we will have baby strollers self crashing 😫

Lawyers:

I’ve seen this movie.

Babies be having some luxurious whip soon 😂

HELL NO, it's not. That will not happen.

Nice I was just looking for one of those

What could go wrong?

How lazy can one be to....

You have one kid..the kid grows and what's the stroller s resale value

They should of started with wheel chairs

Would be good for disabled parents

“How’d yore twins die?” “The self driving stroller caught fire and drove them off a cliff!” “Oh! What were you doing?” “Napping.”

So, a hackable stroller to kidnap one's child?!

Ask cnn employees (parents) if they're ready for this sht. And I already know their answers OFF cameras. ' HELL NO'

I can't imagine what could possibly go wrong

Is pushing a stroller that hard? More time for instagram uploads I guess…

That’s a lawsuit waiting to happen

I use is mostly to hold myself up. This is fuckin dumb.

People are so lazy now they need a stroller that can drive itself? 😂

😂🤣😂foolishness at its peak! 3k for a smart feature? Is pushing a stroller such a hustle😂🤣😂🚮🚮

When you're out of inventions.

A stroller that rolls by itself?! Just put a GPS tracker in it and go to the spa. 🥳

How about not being a lazy fuck and push your own stroller?

Why would someone have an empty stroller? Looking to make an abduction?

ok , kids washed , fed and put to bed , now i can take my stroller for a lovely walk , just because i can!

Defeats the purpose, don’t ya think?

Why?Hand over the baby to AI.

Dumb af cuz why u need a stroller if you dont have anything in it?

Why would you take a stroller for a walk if there’s no kid in it? That’s as useless as a self guided lawnmower for people with no grass.

i would never trust tech, to take care pf my child

This is gonna get hacked 100% lol either kids will get kidnapped or they will get rolled out into traffic ! This product is obviously made to show us all who the retarded parent are

Yeah that doesn't look save LMAO

Isn't that like saying that a car can drive itself only when no passengers are aboard?

I like the name Ella.

Not for $3k

Give me strength.

one can only hope it doesn't utilize Tesla tech

If I was a consumer product lawyer in the US, I would keep an eye on this product with most enthusiasm!!!

I mean, what's the worse that could happen?

For lazy people! Otherwise why would someone prefer this over the joy of pushing your child’s stroller.

I watched a woman pushing a double stroller. She was staring down at her phone. I thought she would look up when she got to a street crossing. I thought she would look up when a car passed within a meter of her car. I thought she would. . . Children don’t need more bots.

What could go wrong?

Thank god, I don't have the time or energy to push my own baby around. Next please invent something to read to and hug my kid goodnight cuz I'm behind in my streaming shows but the little brat keeps taking me away from them!

Hells to the no freakin way!

What could possibly go wrong?

Parents? Are the BABIES ready? 🤓😁🤦

S T U P I D & IRRESPONSIBLE KeepBabiesSafe WorstIdea

I’ll stick to my self-driving golf cart…

Stop.

Fuck yeah sick baby stroller burnouts

Haven't we seen this movie before?

What could possibly go wrong?! 🤦

This ought to be good

These things will be hacked bad technology.

Ah yes bc self driving tech has been fail proof

UAU, watch Out those clifts....

100% NO

Lol yes let’s start autonomous consumer products with the people most vulnerable and completely incapable of intervention in case the machine fails.

Cans cans cans, just cans cans cans no babies, it's just cans.

As a parent, is anyone asking for this?

😂😂😂😂 waste of money and totally not needed

What could go wrong?

Just hire a nanny if you can’t be bothered

1. Give stroller to charity 2. Family with newborn receives said stroller 3. Activate stroller autopilot ... 7. Profit! 😈

As if children aren't disconnected enough from their parents.

FFS 🤦‍♀️

That’s a hard NO

In the last 96 hours at least 113 Baloch people, including children under 18, were arrested by the IRGC. The identity of 42 of these people have been revealed. There's no internet there and most of these people get tortured in silence. IranRevolution StopBalochGenocide Ur

How lazy can we POSSIBLY be

Iranians’ are being silenced again. According to Netblocks the data disruption is at its highest and mobile internet has been cut off for many users. The Islamic Regime wants you to think the protests and the govt’s atrocities are over, it’s a false notion IranRevolution Ds

Ready to self-drive right into traffic.

Really bad idea...pushing a stroller is not a job but a wonderful privelege.

Does the world really need this? No, it does not.

People. I have 3 daughters. Used a stroller maybe for a year. If your rich and think your cool, sure. But. Strollers are a waste of money.

Nothing can go wrong here😬😏

Why wasn’t this invented years ago?

What could possibly go wrong...

Buy at your own risk

In LA you would put your dog in there so it can finally walk itself. 🐩

What could possibly go wrong? 🫣

Pmsl what could go wrong 🤦‍♂️😂

Soap opera. Soup is permitted.

Promote for taking a stroll around the block and not having to miss a single soup opera.

No

If it was made by Elon CNN has to hate on it

Yeah. Because this seems so safe…….

No

This is really pathetic.

It's Alive 4: Too Fast, too Alive...

'a stroller that will break in 1.5 years time, made entirely of proprietary parts and cost you enough that you could buy a dozen normal ones' oh how technology is progressing... to take ever more money out of our pockets. and people will buy it, mind you. they always do.

Yeah, until some horrific accident occurs. Also $3,300 for such 'luxury'? We live in the era of solutions for nonexistent problems.

Will they randomly catch on fire or is that an added feature?

CNN, you really know your audience hug? Rich elitists who can afford a $3,000 stroller… not the poor that progressives pander to only to hurt with every bill they pass.

Mine was $180,000

Trying not to be a pessimist but HAVE YOU SEEN THIS VIDEO OF A TESLA SELF DRIVING IN CHINA?

Only if your IQ is in the single digits you’ll buy one of these.

With everyone looking down at their phones and not paying attention to their surroundings this is a no- brainer

Riveting journalism CNN...

bydanielvictor becsully I'd be curious to know what the product liability insurance rates are on a self-driving stroller.

Cover Cenntro $CENN the future of EV tech

This is the dumbest invention ever. But i can see a rich liberal white girl on her phone while her stroller goes on its own because shes too damn privileged to push it herself. These will sell out in LA and all the other white rich posh woke neighborhoods

Gao Yan,a student at Shandong Art Institute in china, was bullied and ostracized by his teachers for a long time because of his integrity and sexual orientation, causing him committed suicide. We look forward to an impuartial investigation as well as your concerns china

Not in a million years

Why do we need this?

What can go wrong?

Terrible idea

Maybe kids aren't for you if you're too lazy to push a stroller?

How many abortions does the price of that stroller pay for?

My child, where's my child as the stroller rolls down the street out of control! LMAOOOOO

Elon,watch out! This will be a big concurrent for self drive Tesla😜

Hell. No.

just dont have kids if youre that lazy

Will this be like having Elon drive your baby around? I suspect only his cultist will want that.

I could see a self-driving stroller be helpful to people with disabilities! pretty cool :)

Mom pushes a button and sends baby around the block, freeing her up to choose a fresh chardonnay and work the cork out.

Haha. Yeah everyone will run out and buy one

They should watch Ghostbusters 2 first...

Jesus Christ what the fuck…

Homosapiens has FINALLY lost its marbles. Or is today April 1st. 🤢

If you knew anything about parents, this idea will not work. Parents protect kids, self driving doesn't sound like protection

You know, instead of doing stupid things like this why not innovate to help the aged. Like robotics to help old people walk, etc.

Post-abortion stroller

Headline about a self-driving stroller combusting or driving off a cliff in 3, 2, 1....

Are people really this lazy now? So lazy that they can’t push a their child in a stroller? Too lazy to drive, too lazy to check mirrors and turn around when reversing into parking space, too lazy to check blind spot when making lane change. And now this.

...what

It could be a great solution for mothers who have difficulty or physical restrictions pushing a stroll

Great. Abortion after birth.

Hacker kidnappings will be a thing.

Probably one of the dumbest ideas ever going in to production. Not a single parent would risk the lives of their kids to a software glitch while crossing a street. This is utterly idiotic

Hope it’s better than Tesla or that thing won’t stop for the baby. 😬

So the company can catch a lawsuit when negligent parents let it drive it selfinto traffic and get hit by a car….the liability of this is insane.

What could possibly go wrong?!!!!

I'm not a parent, but there's no chance in hell I would trust my child riding in one of these things.

If you're too lazy to push a stroller, good luck pushing the baby out of your vagina!

Probably based on a golf club carrier

Come on.... That's ridiculous. What parent would put their baby in that thing. How lazy do you have to be that you can't push a stroller?

TheSmokingTire sbjesq sounds like something yall should discuss 🤔

Is it as reliable as tEsLa?

For that much money it better come with automated feeding and changing, built in tasers, sniper turrets and an AI that thinks it's Mary bleedin' Poppins.

No. Just no.

Let’s leave the babies out of AI…

I mean nothing that can go wrong will go wrong right.

Horrible what could go wrong.

Fuck no

Liberals who just don't have the time for their own children will love it.

Who pays insurance?

for all the parents who tend to forget their child and stroller at the park

Hopefully it doesn’t smash into the side of a semi like a Tesla!

Self-driving strollers, what could go wrong? 🙄

NO !!! HELL NO !!!! WOKE PARENTS CAN PUSH THEIR CHILDREN AROUND !!! OMG PUT THE PHONE DOWN AND BE A PARENT !!! 👴

What the fuck

Why?

I will put books on it

Not ready

What could go wrong?

Gratis...🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡

If you have $3,000 for a stroller you should be giving money to people who are carrying their kids to work because they can’t afford childcare or parents who carry their special needs & disabled kids because they can’t walk. donate to those who feed children who are starving.

Good to see humans are prioritising the important stuff at this critical time in the survival of the planet. 🤦‍♀️

The runaway stroller trope is back.

Bout time

Ridiculous.

No way!

No

This is why the fed is going to keep raising interest rates

Who ever invented that has to much time on their hands

Nope.

Uh no

An alternative way to get rid of unwanted pregnancy

What could possibly go wrong?

Fantastic. Congratulations, Gluxkind.
