Why should scooter companies and robots be allowed to be rude to humans? We live in civil society and electronic things made by companies have no more right to the sidewalk than anyone else.
Is it an 'anti-techbro luddite mindset' or are unattended electronic devices being bad citizens?
I would treat any other jerk on the street the same way.
- jimmaswell 5y agoMaybe we need bigger sidewalks. This is historically how progress always happens, companies come up with something people want to take advantage of in the public space, then after the dust settles we accommodate it in an efficient way, like how NYC was a jungle of overhead wires for some time. The solution wasn't to ban electricity and telephones, it was to accommodate the need by investing in underground infrastructure.
- annoyingnoob 5y agoRight, we need to share the space and not just take it over with electronics. Respect is a two-way street. I did not call for banning anything, I called for scooters and robots to be good citizens.
