    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.
