These #DeliveryRobots are a danger to pedestrians using wheelchairs. I tried ordering food on the app, but it fails to work with software blind people use. @StarshipRobots, follow #accessibility guidelines & include access for disabled pedestrians & customers. #FixStarshipRobots
This robot stopped on the sidewalk in front of me. I hoped it would backup & clear the path, but it just sat there. I have the ability to walk around it, but many people with mobility disabilities aren’t able to move around them on narrow sidewalks & curb cuts. #FixStarshipRobots
The @StarshipRobots frequently stop on curb cuts for long periods, blocking #disability access. @EmilyEAckerman wrote about her scary encounter with one of these robots last year. #FixStarshipRobots https://www.citylab.com/perspective/2019/11/autonomous-technology-ai-robot-delivery-disability-rights/602209/
It’s absolutely possible for @StarshipRobots to create accessible #DeliveryRobots. Disabled people would benefit from such a service, especially now during the pandemic. We need #tech companies designing for #accessibility now, not later. #FixStarshipRobots
