@Natanox@chaos.social @aurora@social.bau-ha.us I mean, the problem isn't really with the vehicles themselves, so much as it is with them being privately-operated for-profit businesses that invest precisely 0 into infrastructure for them, expecting society to eat the cost and in some cases even expecting cities to build rental-vehicle-only(!) parking spaces with public money.

If these things were designed and deployed in a way where it didn't interfere with sidewalk accessibility or other use of public space, *and* it didn't end up with for-profit corporations outsourcing their operational costs to public money, it would be fine!
