Person Leading Robotic Truck

The truck is driving itself, following the path of the person walking in front. It uses a tether attached to the person to calculate the path to follow. Normally, the truck is attached to another motor vehicle, but anything that moves can act as the leader. The person sitting in the cab of the truck is manning the emergency stop button for safety's sake.

This is very cool!

The person leading the truck would need a hand device for remote emergency stopping and/or emergency engine shutdown.

Otherwise pretty cute how the truck follows it's master like a big dog.

And probably pretty scary for the person leading the truck, cause he can't outrun it ;D
