    NZ Post has somewhat similar Paxsters, but they have full roadgoing registrations and license plates. I think they might have their own categorisation or exemption to allow them to legally be driven on footpaths like posties on motorbikes. Not used for parcel service, only letter mail

    I don’t think there’s necessarily anything corporate-exclusive about these; you could probably commission your own if you wanted.

    I don’t really see how this doesn’t count as a motor vehicle, though. Be interesting to see what the ‘assist’ speed and power limits are.











  • The article seems to be focussing on the “making bad decisions” aspect - i.e. “don’t use it for anything important”.

    I wonder if this is also an attempt to limit IP liability in case someone claims that copilot reproduced copyrighted/patented material?

    Obviously entertainment is also full of copyrighted material but the payouts aren’t usually quite as big as patent claims.
