Some people are too lazy to stand in line or in queue outside their favorite shop, restaurants or cinema. One probable reason is for the painful legs caused by long hours of standing. This will not be a problem anymore as Nissan has already released its self-driving chairs.
The said self-driving chairs were unveiled last September by Japanese automaker Nissan. These are called as Pro Pilot chairs. These are a fleet of self-driving robot seats equipped with sensors that allow each chair to detect and follow the one in front of it.
The company believes that the chairs will be most useful in restaurants where many people need to wait in line for a long time to go in. Customer in Japan can now patiently wait while seating in chairs that automatically move them in queue. One can look at the people being carted around while relaxing and staring at their phones.

Moreover, Quartz added that "The technology relies on cameras that detect objects up ahead and maintain a safe distance." The self-driving chair is equipped with a battery that is operating its system and which can automatically detect and follow the seat ahead of it while maintaining a fixed distance. Once the customer leaves the chair in front of the queue, the chair will return to the end of the line and the one behind it will take its place.
In fact, Robotics Tomorrow confirmed that "Nissan has big plans to upgrade its autonomous chairs by 2020 so that they can navigate crowded city centers. " It also mentioned that these self-driving chairs will be trailed in front of selected restaurants in Japan from 2017.
Finally we can already say,"Gone are the days of standing in line. For more updates don't forget to stay tuned only here at GameNGuide.
