[ad_1]
AUSTIN (KXAN) – You may see something you are not used to rolling the streets of Austin.
The Austin Transportation Department wants you to know that you might spot these three-wheeled delivery robots along the South Congress.
The plan is for the robots to operate on the bike paths. They turn onto the road when there is no bike path so be aware.
The city said a person would drive nearby to monitor and make sure nothing happens.
Austin agreed to a pilot program in 2017.
The company behind this robot, Refraction, markets its robots for delivery to restaurants, pharmacies, and even grocery stores.
