Delivery bots become pedestrians in the USA
In the US state of Pennsylvania, delivery bots are legally classified.
In Germany, delivery bots only operate sporadically, but in the USA there are already some states that have permitted the operation of delivery bots. These are four-wheeled boxes that drive themselves and are often monitored from a control centre.
