In Philadelphia, a former professor at the University of Pennsylvania was arrested for blocking an Uber Eat robot: a pensioner deliberately prevented the delivery robot from fulfilling orders. Carolyn Marvin, 78, a former professor at the University of Pennsylvania, was arrested in downtown Philadelphia for blocking the path of an eating Uber delivery robot. The woman has been protesting in this way for several months against the displacement of couriers by robots in order to increase the company's profits. Police said she ignored several demands to move aside and was subsequently issued with a public order offence. Marvin intends to contest the charge, citing the right to freedom of expression, and does not intend to stop the demonstrations. She says she wants to raise awareness of the impact of automation on delivery workers and discuss the issue with passersby. At the same time, the woman emphasizes that she never interferes with pedestrian traffic."
