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.
Iâd 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
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.
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.
