"indirectly it's good for the planet" - what? because it's like a backpack but with a lithium ion accumulator and you have to recharge it and the underground has to be flat as a road. Let's invent some stuff to get rid of all this lithium - really guys we have too much of this element... *irony off* 🙄

While I respect the perspective on traditional solutions like hand carts, I believe the Gita robot represents an evolution in personal convenience technology. It’s not just about transporting items; it’s about integrating smart assistance into our daily lives. The Gita is designed to help those who may face challenges with mobility, whether due to age, disability, or other reasons, allowing them to maintain independence and freeing them from the physical burden of carrying loads. Moreover, the Gita encourages walkability by making it more feasible for people to transport their groceries or other goods on foot, which can indeed reduce car dependency. It’s a step towards more sustainable urban living by supporting the choice to walk rather than drive.The critique also touches upon a larger issue of urban design and the need for infrastructure improvement. While the Gita is not a fix-all solution, it’s an aid that fits within the larger context of making our cities more livable. It’s a glimpse into a future where personal robotics play a part in our shift towards more eco-friendly and health-conscious lifestyles.Ultimately, the Gita isn’t just a piece of technology; it’s a gateway to greater personal freedom and a complement to the development of more walkable, connected communities

This is ridiculous. Large capacity hand carts (the metal crate or cloth bag types) are already available online for less than $50 dollars. This technology is wasteful and proves that America lacks of education on urbanism. In a walkable town or city, the short trip problem is nonexistent, and in a non-walkable city, you HAVE TO use your car; this makes a "haulbot" an unnecessary in all cases. This can MAYBE help the elderly or disabled in a walkable, disability accessible area if the person wants to be independent. But the answer to eliminate car trips for the majority of Americans is to build dense, walkable and bikeable towns and cities AND to eliminate food deserts. This means you are given the option to walk. This has been proven time and time again in converted ("fixed") American and European cities. They always prosper economically afterwards. We keep trying to reinvent the wheel in America just to avoid the painful truth that we destroyed great city centers and built monuments to cars (car-centric suburban developments). These areas are hard to maintain and eat away our a huge amount of infrastructure subsidies. Instead of using our resources make unusable tech, we should MUST use them try to fix our country.

So like I’d be on board maybe but you’re using this as reason to blame America for a lot of issues under the assumption that we created this technology. This was invented and manufactured by Italians hoping to bank off of America and this video he says it’s not really working and Americans aren’t buying so that kinda contradicts a lot of what you said. As he said in the video it’s made by the people who made Vespa which is a subsidiary of Piaggio which are both Italian corporations. American does have a lot of issues to fix and focus on its true.
