Every few years, a technology company promises to fix our cities, and every few years, we discover it has made them worse.
It's such a pattern that cities and governments become so excited by the new tech solution, and apparently fearful of being left behind, that they throw caution to the wind and just say yes, without apparently stopping to think. important campaign!
Great article that’s radicalised me from previously agnostic on these robots.
But question. Does this make floating cycle companies like Lime etc the good guys when it comes to mobility tech?
We ought to make public transport and cycling better and sexier!
Whilst a lot of people are excited for new tech powered devices, cars, anything, most will choose whatever is faster and easier to use.
If public transport is improved, if cycling is made safer, then people will use them more often.
The Netherlands is a great example for this.
Let us pick up the robots and take them to a riverbank.
