Have you been in a store where a runaway shopping cart is heading your way, either due to human error or just a child rolling around on one? You won’t have to worry about it hitting you with Ford’s Self-Braking Trolley, which is inspired by the automaker’s Pre-Collision Assist technology that uses a forward-facing camera and radar in order to detect objects. This trolley scans ahead for people and objects, like cars, and automatically applies the brakes in emergency situations.
For those wanting to see something like this soon in your local supermarket, it would be wise not to hold your breath, as this is only a prototype…for the time being. Ford basically created this to apply their automotive expertise in order to solve everyday problems. If it ever becomes a reality, the Ford Self-Braking Trolley is sure to be a hit with parents.
