Amazon launched its six-wheeled delivery robot, Amazon Scout, in January. It is currently being tested in a neighborhood in Washington state.
The vice president behind Amazon's autonomous delivery robot wants people to treat the machines like pedestrians if they see them on the road. While the robot is designed for use on sidewalks, if there's a blockage it would have to use the road. In this case, Sean Scott says drivers should give them right of way. Amazon began testing this new technology in a neighborhood in Washington in January. It has not yet confirmed when or where testing will be expanded to.
