A delivery robot manufactured by KiwiBot caught fire last week at the UC Berkeley campus. The cause was a defect battery. The fire was extinguished by a person with a fire extinguisher.

For more than a year the startup has been testing food deliveries with those autonomous delivery bots. A total of half a dozen companies are currently testing delivery robots in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Delivery robots? How frickin lazy is the world today. Somebody has to be willing to do that job for a modest wage that won’t break a company’s bank.

If it had been a Young Republican, they would have thrown gasoline on the fire.

I was guilty of this in my time too - college kids thinking they invented witty irreverence.

Dude. Do you seriously think this was built because of laziness?
