I love them, think they must have tracking device’s to rescue them if they get stuck. Not likely to have them around here they would be mugged.
Unless they can defend themselves.
I wonder what the response will be to the would be thief
Yep, back in the day, one of them Bots would not have ventured onto the “Estate”

Maybe they’ve got some bigger delivery bots for dodgy areas

When I first saw news about the Cooperative shops trialling a delivery service via these cute little robotsI wondered about what protection they had against theft or vandalism too.
I found various bits of info about them online - in the video in this link, it explains how much security is built in - cameras, trackers and they probably have alarms now which could be triggered if they are taken off their programmed route.
The video shows a man trying to get into a locked bot and he couldn’t (he managed to steal something from the 2nd bot he tried but I think that one was unlocked)
I think it’s lovely that the bots have been programmed to say Thank You when folk assist them!

Ooh! I wonder what they’ve been programmed to say to folks that don’t assist them?
The mind boggles

I watched one of these on You Tube,it was at a zebra crossing, cars were waiting for it to cross, they even tooted it, it wouldn’t budge.
They make me smile , isn’t technology amazing
I look forward that they come to Dorset I’d definately be ordering food
Not really, they are just Drones with wheels. 
Call me a cynic but I wonder what the cost is going to be to place an order using one of these, at least initially.
Personally, I think they can be dangerous, I mean, look at that one waiting at the zebra crossing, plus they are very low to the ground, would a lorry see it,hmmmmm.
With all this leccy being used for everything you may soon have to choose if you have your lights on or your parcel delivered!

Oh well, that wasn’t quite the reply I was expecting.
Many a true word spoken in jest 
The Lorry’s will be driverless soon, and programmed to recognise Bots, not sure they will be programmed to recognise Humans though.
Fleets of bots, the risk of being mown down by an escooter, going out could get to be very interesting.
Think I’ll treat myself self to a set of body armour for Christmas

Oooh! I didn’t think of that, perhaps I should just stay in and become one of those recluse types.
Then again I’m sure Spitty wouldn’t mow down any fellow forum members… would he? 
You lot are safe, just don’t “Diss” the bike Ok
