Well, if there are fewer drivers then there is room for them on the road isn’t there?
Fewer drivers on the road because the pavements are becoming non-navigable because of robots nearly as wide as pavements does not sound like a benefit for anyone but drivers, and yet again demonstrates how messed up car culture is.
Well, yes, I imagine any fix for large-ish robots moving around cities has to put them on the roads. At least for most of the time.
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.
