    Los Angeles is now so rough tech companies are buying dummies
    to use as fake homeless people while testing their new delivery
    robots.

    The wheeled devices have been filmed maneuvering past
    mannequins sprawled on the City of Angels' grimy sidewalks
    while being tested by food delivery firm Serve Robotics.

    In the latest footage, a stunned witness shared a clip of
    the device after catching Serve Robotics engineers testing
    their device on the sidewalk.

    But the witness quickly realized the dummies were a good
    idea - because in real life the little robots will regularly
    have to maneuver LA's thousands of vagrants.

    'My mind went straight to, yeah they better learn how to
    dodge all that,' he said.

    'It's more important to be safe and go around and dodge
    lawsuits.'

    The footage circulated across social media as people were
    left in awe at what passes for normal in LA in 2025.

    Ah, the Newsom/Bass/Wokie California .....

    They'd better sim drugged-up loons trying to
    smash their way into the delivery-bots too.
    Think titanium+carbon-composite frames ....

    Sorry, but as much as Newsom and his Wokies try
    to dodge the reality - CAN'T work. It's just
    HORRIBLE. This is their vision for the whole USA.
    Rot it from within so our Russian/Chinese "betters"
    can more easily move in .......
