A motorized shopping cart is disclosed herein and includes a shopping cart, a wheel assembly attached to the shopping cart, a drive assembly, accelerator and brake assembly in communication with the wheel assembly, a GPS module, a direction sensing module, a feedback module, a controller and in some embodiments, a collision module. The GPS module detects a location of the shopping cart relative to one or more boundaries and the direction sensing module detects a direction of travel of the shopping cart within a store. If the shopping cart moves past the boundary or in an incorrect direction of travel, the controller automatically applies the brake assembly to cease movement of the shopping cart and simultaneously causes the feedback module to vibrate at least a portion of the shopping cart. In some embodiments, if a collision is imminent, the controller activates one or more response measures for collision avoidance.
