Overriding control of motorize transport unit systems, devices and methods

An apparatus providing control over movement of motorized transport units at a shopping facility, comprising:

• multiple self-propelled motorized transport units configured to move through at least a portion of a shopping facility;
• a wireless communication network;
• and
• a central computer system that is separate and distinct from the multiple motorized transport units and configured to communicate with each of the multiple motorized transport units via the wireless communication network, wherein the central computer system comprises:
• a transceiver configured to communicate with the motorized transport units located at the shopping facility;
• a control circuit coupled with the transceiver;
• and
• a memory coupled to the control circuit and storing computer instructions that when executed by the control circuit cause the control circuit to:
• receive an override command, from a first worker associated with the shopping facility, to cause a first motorized transport unit of the multiple motorized transport units to implement one or more actions;
• confirm a valid authorization of the first worker to override one or more operating limits of the first motorized transport unit;
• and
• override the one or more operating limits and communicate one or more instructions to the first motorized transport unit configured to cause the first motorized transport unit to implement the one or more actions in accordance with the override command.
