On the movement of cargo robots on the sidewalks of San Francisco imposed a number of restrictions, concerning both their number and areas in which they can be used.
In San Francisco experienced their robots from three companies: Marble, Dispatch and Starship Technologies.
Until recently, on the movement of robots do not overlap with virtually no restrictions, although, as noted by the San Francisco Chronicle, some of the initiative group drew attention to the fact that the movement of a large number of robots on sidewalks can be unsafe, especially for seniors, persons with disabilities and children.
Now every company that uses robots allowed simultaneously output on the sidewalks up to three devices — thus, the city will be able to travel only nine robotic couriers. In addition, before the robot could drive around the city, and now the area of operation of the services delivery is limited to industrial areas with low population density. Also, robots may not drive at speeds above five miles per hour, and the movement of the device should always observe the operator.
