Difficult situation on campus: traffic jam of food delivery robots
A couple of years ago, I was attacked by a Kiwi bot near a UC campus. This is my story.<p>The bot and I were moving towards each other on a sidewalk, and when I came close it stopped, as they do when sensing an object in front of them. But there was an awkward moment as I tried to go around it and it repeatedly jerked forward an inch as its motor kicked on and off. Maybe I was walking around the very edge of its radius. In any case, my behavior must have triggered some pathfinding bug, because it turned and drove right into my legs, after which it stopped and sat stationary. Luckily they&#x27;re small and move slowly so it wasn&#x27;t a big deal, but that memory stuck with me. Articles about Tesla pathfinding issues always bring it back to the surface.
