Robots have been seen lining up politely at a pedestrian crossing before asking a passer-by to press the button to change the light to green for them. The Starship robots were spotted forming the "sweet and British" queue following their roll-out in UK cities, where they have begun delivering groceries.
Artist Naomi Davies saw seven of the robots queueing up last week in Cambridge while cycling home. "I was cycling back and there was this ridiculous queue," she said. "It looked so sweet and British. They were being so cautious crossing the road.
"I hung around to see if they would, but it took three light changes for one of them to cross so I got cold and went home. I even heard one of them ask a lady passing to press the button for them."
