That is the weirdest product I could have imagined AWS "launching"

I predict this is the predecessor to cloud-controlled home robots like Roomba vacuums and self-driving lawnmowers etc.

You can pre-order it here for $250 if you want to compete.

Based on all the images on the product page, can SOMEONE please tell what which side is the front of this car? The side with the AWS logo looks most car like, but the logo makes it look like it runs with the black side first.

I agree, because the black side has the camera and that would be front-facing.

Taller, black side is the front - the camera is in that taller end.

Just pre-ordered!

This is really cool! I learned to program on something like this - an irobot create. I can see this being a big hit for universities seeking to teach ML in fun ways.

Amazon >> Anki

I don't understand why you brought up Anki. Can you explain?

I see we must be overdue for our monthly Amazon takeover of the front page of HN.
