Cool video, cute packing, but notice how it can only go DOWN ramps !!
Pesky physics gets in the way of nice PR spin again....
It doesn't "gerbil" very much in the video, I guess gyros and PID could damp such pendulous oscillations. I'd like to see it tackle stairs next.
Won't go well up and down the escalators at air ports and such. How about jumping in and out of taxis, busses, trains...
Won't move more that half a meter around here a lot of the year for snow.
Next...
People are really going to get lazy, if the little red wagon was too much trouble.
Unless their new scooters are also robots! Then they can talk to and navigate around each other at will!
