Webpage Delivery Robots Date 29 June 2026‎
Delivery robots are small, autonomous vehicles designed to transport parcels.
On a city street, a white car with sensors and other equipment attached to it. Some branding reads "Waymo".
"Delivery robots raise significant concerns for pedestrians. By occupying pavement space, they add congestion and clutter to the pavements, increasing competition for pavement space that is already a major issue in the UK – for example micromobility modes, electric vehicle charging points and pavement parking. This disproportionately affects disabled people (particularly wheelchair users and visually impaired people), older pedestrians and adults with prams and pushchairs. There are also unresolved questions about liability when incidents occur, as well as privacy concerns linked to the use of cameras in public space."
