#topoli From @GraphicMatt:
"Serve Robotics, a California company spun off from Postmates and now claiming to have achieved “Level 4” autonomy with its fleet of delivery robots, has hired Global Public Affairs’ Vince Amodeo to lobby about “regulation for low-emissions sidewalk delivery robots” in Toronto."

A reminder that these robots are a menace for sidewalk accessibility. They take up space and expect people to move aside for them. Sidewalks aren't wide enough for them. Recall Tiny Mile just paid a team in South East Asia to control the robots. More outsourced labour & exploitation.
Also, these companies have been known to spy for cops in exchange for cops investigating robot vandalism. Is this the city we want to live in?
