Sidewalk delivery
DEPLOY tracks 32 makers (including Also, Avride, and Serve Robotics), 34 models, and 206 deployments on the record, most recently Coco Bot at Los Angeles, California, USA. Personal delivery devices operating on sidewalks and pedestrian rights-of-way.
Sidewalk delivery robots (Personal Delivery Devices, PDDs in regulatory language) operate on pedestrian rights-of-way under state and municipal frameworks distinct from on-road AV rules. California AB 1096, Pennsylvania's Title 75 §8101, and Texas Local Government Code Chapter 552 are representative of the patchwork: PDD-specific weight limits, speed caps, operator-supervision requirements, and right-of-way duties. Coverage on DEPLOY is broad-first across the named operators (Coco, Serve Robotics, Starship, Kiwibot) with named-site deployments where the route is verifiable.
