Semi-retired professor Carolyn Marvin became a local celebrity facing down Philadelphia’s growing robot delivery army: ‘It’s my first amendment right to protest’
Definitely not. Look at the short video in the article, and imagine there are dozens of those things, which will inevitably happen if this kind of thing ramps up, which is surely what the corporation who’s running these things wants. There would be no way to safely walk down the sidewalk, and people would be forced to walk in the street to get around them.
Yeah, fuck those people with movement disorders and their spinal and neurological disabilities, they should get back in the hospital bed where they belong. /s
To be fair if there are dozens of these things on the sidewalk then that means traffic is much better and the road can be cannibalized to increase the area available. Assuming the government acts fairly and promptly (hah, as if), this is a win for everyone involved.
I’m guessing because one of these means a 5-8 passenger internal combustion vehicle is not on the roads, but we all know pedestrians will never get that real estate back.

Can apply the same principle for mobility scooters.

That’s a stretch. There could still be plenty of car traffic while still having sidewalks filled with bots
No. Why would you possibly think that? Traffic would not get better.
