Nissan creates self-driving bathroom slippers

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Japan has long been known for both its strong traditions and being on the cutting edge of technology.

So it is not surprising that Nissan Motor Co. has partnered with a traditional inn, called ‘ProPilot Park Ryokan to create high-tech, self-driving slippers.

The slippers park themselves at the entrance of the traditional inn waiting for guests to use them upon arrival.

When guests have finished using them, the slippers will drive themselves back to their original position. Each slipper features two tiny wheels, a motor, and sensors to drive it across the lobby’s wooden floor using a simplified form of Nissan’s ProPilot Park technology.
