"Rolling robots will soon be making U.S. house calls, beginning with a trial run in Washington, D.C. this fall. Municipal regulators have approved use of Starship Technologies’ rolling delivery drones for urban delivery via sidewalk, reports Recode, giving the Estonian startup a vector for its first states-side public tests."
"They’re pokey when compared to vehicles, with a max speed of 10 mph, but about as fast as a lot of joggers. They can carry around 40 pounds within their gently domed interior"
