Sidewalk delivery
DEPLOY tracks 38 makers (including Also, Avride, and Serve Robotics), 42 models, and 208 deployments on the record, most recently Serve Gen 3 at Chicago. 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.
