"This is the GluxKind 'Ella,' it's the smartest stroller in the world. It is powered by AI with computer vision, with sensors all around it to give it a 360 safety bubble. So, it scans its environment and knows its environment so that parents can walk hands free when it's not occupied. And when you stop, it will stop when you're out of the range."
The smart stroller will only self-drive or operate hands-free
when a baby or toddler is not present inside the stroller

"So, often times you get parents kind of, initially their reaction is, can I put my child in there and send it to grandma's house? That's not what we're doing. So, we always have the parent with the stroller. While the child is inside, we require one hand on the handle bar at least. But when they really want to take their little ones out because an infant wants that physical connection, is crying, needs to be soothed for a little bit, or a toddler wants to walk for a little while, and parents just want to hold their hands and explore the world with them, then they can do that, can focus their full attention on their kids. And the stroller takes care of itself, rolls along and is their companion."

"So when you're going uphill, you can have push assist, where you can literally have fingers on (the stroller) to move a 100 pounds. It's just effortless. And then when you are out of range, it will stop, it breaks automatically and it also works on downhill too. So, it detects that it's rolling away and after a certain period, it stops it completely."
Stroller prices start from $3,800
