Hate standing in line? Japan now has self-driving chairs

TOKYO: Hate standing in line at your favourite restaurant? Japanese carmaker Nissan claims to have just the thing for those sore legs.

A company video released Tuesday (Sep 27) re-enacts a busy restaurant with patrons waiting outside.

They're all sitting in a row of chairs but they won't have to stand when the next hungry diner is called to a table.

Instead, the chairs - equipped with autonomous technology that detects the seat ahead - glide along a path toward the front of the line.

The now empty chair at the front moves out of pole position.
