Losing Jobs To Robots? Virginia Legalizes Delivery Machines

Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe recently signed a law allowing robots to deliver goods in the state, according to Engadget. Starting July 1, Virginia citizens could see robots using the streets to deliver purchases to local residents. The bots are running autonomously, but Virginia is requiring Starship Technologies, the developers, to monitor them remotely. They also must have a max speed of 10mph and cannot weigh more than 50lbs, delivery included. Virginia is allowing local councils to put regulations on the bots as well.
