Retired professor arrested for blocking delivery robot
Original: Retired professor arrested for blocking delivery robot. Will do it again
A retired professor in Philadelphia was arrested after she deliberately blocked a sidewalk delivery robot, and says she would do it again. She argues the robots crowd pedestrian space and are part of a wider trend of companies testing automation on public streets without much consent or oversight. Reaction is split between those sympathizing with her civil-disobedience stance and those who see the arrest as an overreaction to a minor obstruction.
Why now: The unusual arrest has sparked debate over delivery robots' right to occupy public sidewalks and acts of protest against them.
