The technology has emerged before the infrastructure.
This is a fairly generic complaint that humans have had for 1000s of years.
I wouldn’t worry about it.
I’m not really bothered by these things. I walk around them just like I have to walk around humans and their detritus.
To be fair, the delivery robots I’ve seen (made by Yandex, which is known for bleeding-edge developments in self-driving technology) made good job to be as unobtrusive and predictable as possible, while also avoiding humans in quite a large range.
My only issue with them is that these are camera-equipped devices rolling the streets and likely sending all that footage to their Big Tech daddies. Besides that, they do their job well, reducing the need for hard human labor.
I’m sure the people who were surviving off that hard human labor are thrilled
I’m surprised that those who lost the work aren’t administers or some beneficiary of it. UBI seems to be the way??
UBI would never happen if the union lobbyists have their way. Who would unions “protect” if the costs of food and shelter are taken care of? That’s a lot of dues they won’t get, and that adds up to some serious dosh.
