What you'll actually see in Hamburg
Sidewalk delivery robots
Those knee-high boxes on wheels you see on the sidewalk come from Starship Technologies. They roam local sidewalks, ferrying takeout and small parcels and pausing patiently at crosswalks. There are 2 verified on record here.
Robotaxis
Driverless passenger cars from Argo AI and Volkswagen Group are in limited pilots -- invite or trial rides, not open hailing yet. That usually opens up as the pilots grow.
And the ones you'd never guess
Not everything on wheels here is dropping off dinner. The record also includes Walker S2 -- the oldest on file here since 2026.
Can you ride a robotaxi in Hamburg?
Not freely yet. The robotaxi services here (Argo AI and Volkswagen Group) are in limited pilots -- trials and invite-only rides, not open hailing. That usually changes as pilots expand.
Can you get food delivered by a robot in Hamburg?
Yes. Starship Technologies runs sidewalk delivery bots here. If you're inside a covered zone, a robot can bring your order.
