THESE MACHINES DO NOT BACK UP
OR MOVE OUT OF
THE WAY OF WHEELCHAIR USERS
When I see a delivery bot parked on a sidewalk, I worry about wheelchair access.
My worst fear came true in Miami Beach
near Lincoln Road.
I walked up & even pushed this—it
didn’t budge.
I tested another in Coral Gables near
Miracle Mile.
It stops when it detects motion, but
it blocks the sidewalk.
Do all of these endanger the lives of
wheelchair users by pushing them into the street?
Has not one city official cared enough
to demand that these are programmed to retreat and clear the sidewalk path wide
enough for a wheelchair user?
