Sure, and the delivery robots have people who want the things at the end, and the robots can't (apparently) go in the road.

Roads used to be for people and wagons, till cars showed up and kicked the people off. Now delivery bots are trying to do the same thing, kick the humans on foot off the sidewalks.
