Always were. They simply have to come up with more ways to squeeze the rest out of their userbase to justify investments.
To be fair, the delivery robots I’ve seen (made by Yandex, which is known for bleeding-edge developments in self-driving technology) made good job to be as unobtrusive and predictable as possible, while also avoiding humans in quite a large range.
My only issue with them is that these are camera-equipped devices rolling the streets and likely sending all that footage to their Big Tech daddies. Besides that, they do their job well, reducing the need for hard human labor.
How do people tolerate this? Just looking at this pic makes me want to turn it off and throw it out the window.
