Well unluckily we don't have any special exceptions for people with disabilities, so this means I'm forced to double down and say wheelchair users also belong on the road, IF their wheelchair is electrified.

My argument is still that more space should be taken from driving and parking lanes rather than turning pedestrian areas into the dumping ground for anything that's not a car, overcrowding it.

I'm not sure I see your point, unless you're assuming college campuses and downtown cores aren't still heavily car based in the US? I assure you most of them have a road or parking lane to spare near the restaurants that the bots want to pick up from

Well yeah that's why they go on bike lanes.

I already hate sharing a sidewalk with them, I would shit blood if one of these fuckers made me late for a bus transfer because it was doing something stupid in the shared lane.
