Delivery robots take over Chicago sidewalks
Yes, I would like it as part of a reclaiming of the streets for pedestrians and multi-use lanes. But fewer cars on the road is a good in itself.

More to the point, I think these things can't really replace delivery drivers until they can get there as fast as delivery drivers, which one would hope they don't plan to do on the pavement. Though I can see them pushing to go faster :-/

Perhaps that's true, I don't know the economics of the places they operate. Definitely going at speed on sidewalks would defeat the entire purpose.
