Would these work here or would they just get vandalised?

  1. Saw these on ucla campus in LA. Thought it was crazy when I saw it and thought it would 100% not work in cork or anywhere in Ireland.

  2. Wouldn’t work well out in the wild, but for areas with lots of apartments on a pedestrianised square and the restaurants on ground level, maybe they’d operate well nipping between buildings… but can’t say there’s enough business for it to be cost effective. Beyond that, they’d get booted off the pavement or crash into a parked car that’s on the pavement, or just stolen and turned into a sex slave

  3. We’d have them in the river in 5 minutes. I can see it now starting out grand and a month in theyll no longer provide the service in dublin 1 and increasingly limit it in parts of 2 and 8.

  4. I put a jack-o-lantern I carved and nice beeswax candle inside outside my door on halloween last year and it was stolen and smashed within 5 min. 😭

    This wouldn’t last a minute.

  5. 20 years ago I lived in Australia. Around that time that exhibit of cows painted like artwork (sorry I can’t describe it better) was doing the rounds around the world. If you weren’t around, the cows were set up in various spots around cities worldwide. They were really nice. They made it around the world, great cities and sh1tholes – no problems. Then they came to Dublin…..

  6. To be fair, everyone said that Dublinbikes woukd get vandalised. Like 14 years later now and it’s been a success story.

  7. They wouldn’t work here. They’re made for countries where footpaths are level, not full of holes and mysterious humps, not blocked by telephone poles and those random metal boxes and, most importantly, where people don’t park on the path.

    If humans in wheelchairs can’t get around, these things have no hope.

  8. Lived in a US city where these were all the rage but didn’t last long because it wasn’t economically viable. The company would have to send a minder with it to “guide” it as it would get stuck in between gaps in the footpath or hit poles etc

    The delivery guys will get your shit food to you faster by ignoring all the rules of the road while our rate of obesity increases!

  9. Hear me out here, we take this idea but swap it out for the ones from robot wars and let them just wipe out the scrotes population on the way to the delivery
