I mean you may not like self-serve machines in grocery stores, but if you stand in front of it and stop it working while a customer was in the middle of using it… you are making a tool of yourself and being a public nuisance.
Someone’s expecting a meal they paid for and you’re in the goddamn way.
Motor Vehicles belong in the street. Sidewalks are the tiny little space we used to allocate for humans. I guess we’re not allowed any space now, just need to either drive everywhere or have it delivered. What a lovely society we’re building.
The street used to belong to humans, too… Isn’t having miniature robots– or bikes– a lot safer and more efficient than having to haul entire vehicles around to deliver a bag of food? Especially in tight-nit city areas where traffic already poses a huge problem for people who just want their space to be walkable.
cause they’re two foot tall and aren’t gonna run anybody over…
And besides, isn’t this all besides the point? Uber is a terrible company that you should never use anyway, even if they did hire human drivers to deliver your $35 sandwich.
They already took the streets from us and made those exclusively for cars. Now they want to take the sidewalks from us and make them for robots, and if you get in the robots’ way you get fucking arrested. But they’re in the way. How many people in wheelchairs have been forced to stop and wait for a robot to get out of the way?
It’s really not besides the point, it’s actually the primary reason I hate them. Sidewalks are for people.
Coming at it from another angle: I would hate for sidewalks to be taken over by robots. It feels like the sidewalks get less safe if there’s these feet-level robots running around on there.If anything they should be on the road, maybe in a faster vehicle. Maybe a bigger vehicle, maybe one that already exists. Hmm

Bikes have to go in the street, actually.
But the robots don’t for some reason.
