When I read the title I was hoping it was a strategy to remove trash, needles, and human waste from the streets of San Francisco. But no, the only problem addressed here is keeping scooters off the sidewalk.
Thank god we have a log(n) solution to the epidemic of scooters on streets. Thank you technology. I hope all the Series A investors were able to get that new electric Porsche and didn't have to settle for a Corvette like some filthy commoner.
It's certainly not a regular part of life in the United States. It may be (but probably isn't) a regular part of your own life in the United States.
I've made eye contact with a pooping homeless person in the United States zero times over four decades of life.
I think you mean "This has become a regular part of life in the city I live in." That is so outside of regular life in the vast majority of the USA that I can't comprehend seeing it once.
In what city is that an actual regular part of life?
The US has a shitty scooter problem. Solution? More scooters, but these has cameras, and they are self driving. They help clear the sidewalks of the other shitty solution.
The US is a chain of shitty decisions that never address real problems, but cause the next generation of problems to keep the economy running.
