We all know self-driving cars are on the horizon but Nissan is taking things a step further with autonomous chairs. No, really.

Using Nissan’s ProPilot technology which will one day be used in its fleet of autonomous vehicles, today you can take advantage of this tech. You will no longer have to endure the crippling hardship of having to stand in a line and take that ever so painful step every few minutes.

Nissan will be using some real world testing at restaurants in Japan throughout 2017 and at Nissan’s Global Headquarters in Yokohama, where 6 of the chairs will be available for visitors to demo. Hopefully this will go well so we can get them here in the US. We have long lines and we are also much fatter so I am sure we will welcome these to rave reviews.

I can’t help but picture Wall-E and its bleak outlook on our obese future. This is a bit excessive and more so an interesting proof of concept of their in-house tech. Let’s be honest, nobody truly takes pleasure in standing in a line for long periods of time. I suppose I would gladly sit in one of these if ever given the opportunity but it still makes me look at the future with a bit of cringey hesitation.
