Shopping Carts That Follow You?!

New Grocery Store Carts Follow Customers Automatically

A grocery chain is testing AI-powered shopping carts that automatically follow customers around the store — no pushing required.

The carts use sensors and tracking technology to roll behind shoppers as they move through the aisles, designed to make grocery trips easier and more convenient.

Instead of steering a cart with one hand and grabbing items with the other, customers can just walk — and the cart follows along like a very quiet shopping assistant.

Stores say the technology could help improve traffic flow in aisles and make shopping easier for people carrying kids, juggling lists, or picking up multiple items at once.

But not everyone is convinced.

Because while a cart that follows you sounds helpful…it also means the snack aisle suddenly feels very judgmental.
