I remember them being introduced at least 15 years ago. My manager at the time would wait and laugh at people trying to take them past the parking lot. She was a really miserable person.
I wouldn't be surprised if they don't even work anymore just because of how long they've been around.
I've never bothered to try it recently though.
They likely get repaired/replaced when they die. When the batteries die the brake locks shut so you can't move it. No idea how long they last though
