## Resource

Delivery robots are rolling into UK cities, sparking a heated debate between tech innovation and public safety. While companies like Starship tout their ability to help people with disabilities and boost deliveries, charity Living Streets warns of “pavement overload” and accessibility risks, urging the government to act fast. With cameras on these bots and no national rules yet, pedestrians—especially wheelchair users and parents with strollers—are forced to dodge them. Starship says they’re safe and willing to build locally if regulations clear the way, but the charity’s open letter demands immediate legal clarity. The government promises updates after public consultation, but for now, the tension between progress and accessibility rages on.
