DELIVERY ROBOTS BANISHED: Long Beach Kicks Out Autonomous Bots Amid Regulation Frenzy!

The drama! Long Beach has essentially told these whirly, beepy, robot thingamajigs to scram while they figure out how to make them not crash into pedestrians or get lost in the nearest Taco Bell. It's all about "regulations" and "licensing," which is just code for "we don't know what we're doing with these robots yet." I mean, who needs business licenses when you can just... wing it? Serve Robotics was all like, "Hey, let's test out our robot overlords in Long Beach!" And the city was all, "Uh, no. We need to think about this some more... and maybe get some actual laws on the books." Meanwhile, the residents are over here going, "Wait, what's with the siren and flashing lights? Are these robots trying to summon an alien invasion?"
