Imagine being cleaning staff in that office. You accidentally drop something during your night shift. All the chairs start driving themselves across the room at 4 AM while you’re completely alone in the building.
“Heart attack” would be an understatement for the reaction I’d have.
I’d be more annoyed at having to plug all that shit in to recharge every night since I doubt there is some complex magnetic drive system under the flooring
Roomba style self charging with a queue, lol
I mean, wireless charging is a thing nowadays
wireless charging is not a thing until they make every table auto charging my phone
Sounds like a weird fnaf spin off
I would expect some Harry Belafonte to start playing or something.

I’m so going to “accidentally” clap my hand in the middle of a meeting
Having seen these in a demo, they have weight triggers to prevent that. Also in or demo, one got stuck on a power cord, the other on a electrical plate in the floor.
Presentation ends
Everyone claps
Chairs push themselves in, cutting everyone in half
Well, the meeting was about cutting expenses.

I wouldn’t be mad of they were called Chair-E
Robot chairs, but still using a white board from the 90s
This perfectly describes Japan. The nation of advanced robotics and businesses that still communicate by fax.
? What do you use instead of a whiteboard?
Smartboards are much smaller than most room-sized whiteboards and are infinitely more expensive. Smartboards have certain use cases, but in many situations they don’t make sense.
Those things look tiny! I don’t know where the idea is going in the first place, and I need lots of space for bad ideas and wrong turns.
A lot of work went into making this minor convenience.
Cool as an experiment. Real world use seems limited. Much cheaper to hire an administrative assistant to clean up after each meeting, since the tabletop also needs tidying.
All I can imagine is someone clapping at a presentation.
Then the chairs going crazy like ant panic. (While people ride them) 🤣
NOW DO THIS WITH SHOPPING CARTS
