Immediately abused and dismantled for parts. I doubt they'll roll these out in neighborhoods like that.
You should see the constant fail of the public bike and scooter programs; they litter the landscape like wounded soldiers until someone finally kicks them over and sprays them with graffiti. Seattle is a graveyard of these projects.
Those fucking scooters are a plague in Europe. Every major city is full of them, and I see 10 of them discarded in random places for every person actually riding one.
That's really sad. They were working fine two years ago when I was last there. Then a friend said he wouldn't protect me from the oncoming revolution, and I decided to stay out. I was going to do the convention scene anyway, but Covid stopped it.
Has it really gone that shit?
I should point out Bothell is not Seattle. It's the nice middle class area where no one thinks about scrounging drones for parts.
As u/xleb2 said, they probably just won't do it, save it for the 'nice' neighborhoods.
But, given that a lot of these inner cities have basically given up on policing certain individuals, whatever their crimes, I'd take that as a challenge for urban skeet shooting.
How will this work in "diverse" areas?

I don't want that ugly motherfucker in my neighborhood, let alone the ghetto. I hope they get stripped in HOA areas so they never try this shit again.
The little flag on the back makes it look like a lost little robo-retard that escaped it's guardian.
"IRL lootbox" according to that reddit thread.
And at some point they probably tase you if you touch them (electrified outer shell).
The "Bez 209" model will be a huge hit with the board I'm sure.
Lol. Quality reference.
Like the top comment in the reddit post says:
That was the first thing I thought of as well.
Yep. RIP Hitchbot. Cross Europe? Fine! Cross Canada? Fine! Get to Philadephia? Horribly murdered.
