Welcome To Walmart. The Robot Will Grab Your Groceries. (wsj.com) 46
The backroom robots could help Walmart cut labor costs and fill orders faster and more accurately. It also could address another problem: unclogging aisles that these days can get crowded with clerks picking products for online orders. A store worker can collect around 80 products from store shelves an hour, estimated John Lert, founder and chief executive of Alert Innovation, the startup that has worked with Walmart to design the system dubbed Alphabot. It is designed to collect 800 products an hour per workstation, operated by a single individual, Mr. Lert said. Workers stock the 24-foot-high machine each day with the products most often ordered online, including refrigerated and frozen foods. Fresh produce is still picked by hand in store aisles.

You try getting your neighbors to put these in over the sidewalks, I have a hard enough time just getting them to trim the bushes away.
These make a lot of sense for sidewalks, they melt snow when needed, and then collect energy the rest of the time. Considering nobody bothers to shovel sidewalks anymore, we only have to gain from this.

Something I'm not hearing is at what time of day it was and what direction the car was going. Something from my early driving days that impacted me hard was driving through my neighborhood (tight, narrow, curvy streets with both sides of parking) in the evening and the sun was right infront of me. Speeds at about 10~15mph (military housing) and still only had about 2 seconds to react to a pickup truck coming out of the glare. Literally, the glare was so bad it was like somebody walking through a heavy bead curtain infront of me.
I was still going too fast for the conditions. My speed should have been dead slow, but the other guys conditions wouldn't be the same as mine in this case and thus may have been driving.
