Delivery robots are a hazard to no one, but Toronto banned them anyway
- ddingus 5y agoWell, they do have an impact. Not being a hazard is a different thing. These things in public ways do require people to pay attention to them, grant them rights of way, etc... A few of them works one way. Oh look, it's cute! A lot of them? Very different story. There should be a discussion, and Toronto has forced that discussion apparently.
- jleyank 5y agoIn an urban environment, where do the robots operate? They’re in the way of pedestrian traffic if they’re on the sidewalk and in the way of (possibly glacial) vehicle traffic if on the road. Pre-covid, downtown Toronto was pretty crowded and nyc is worse.
