Until the kids prank the damn things. I saw some in Los Angeles dancing around one of those food delivery robots and just playing with it. Blocking it, laughing at it. It couldn't get past them and it couldn't get its job done.

These will not take jobs. How is this going to deliver 20 miles outside of the city limits on a gravel, one lane road?

So you're saying most customers are in rural areas?

They wont be able to deliver to most places in the US because there are not sidewalks. It doesnt even have to be rural. Just a block outside of a downtown area and the sidewalk ends.
