Why don’t you take 2 minutes and push them to the side of the sidewalk if you care so much about ADA access? You can fix the problem you are encountering, and the people you want to protect CANT. You are choosing to make the problem worse for them? Why? I live in a major downtown full of these scooter…
> Why don’t you take 2 minutes Wow, if a 3-4 minute walk involves 10 scooters that's now almost a 25-minute walk. It's not the OP's job to clean up after everyone else.

> Yes, let's make innocent people crash their cars! That'll teach the people who left the scooters there a lesson! The cars are insured, the insurance companies will pursue the owners of the scooters. It's the negative feedback required to compel scooter companies to operate more responsibly.
Sometimes people get hurt or killed in car crashes, which just having insurance doesn't magically fix.

> Why don’t you take 2 minutes and push them to the side of the sidewalk if you care so much about ADA access? Because you’ll be doing this over and over again. How about those companies educate their users how to behave in a neighbourhood where those people are basically guests?

Are you aware that if you loan your vehicle out and it's used in a crime you're liable?

when I came close it stopped, as they do when sensing an object in front of them The security robots at one of the big skyscrapers down the street from me do not stop for people. My wife got knocked into by one when we were standing in the plaza looking up something on her phone. (They're not little delivery robots. They're about five feet tall.) Good thing she was confused by what happened, because she's also the ty…
