  1. Chicago lawsuits allege Coco and Serve robots scanned biometric data without consent

    Two proposed class-action lawsuits in Chicago allege that delivery robots operated by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured customers' biometric data without consent and used it to train AI systems. The plaintiffs, Cook County residents, say the companies violated Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act, which requires written notice, prior written consent and retention schedules, and seek statutory damages of $1,000 per negligent violation or $5,000 per intentional or reckless violation. Both companies deny the claims: Serve says its cameras and sensors navigate sidewalks and are not used to identify individuals or create biometric profiles, while Coco told the Associated Press it collects only navigational data and called the legal action frivolous.

  2. Woman arrested in Philadelphia for blocking Uber delivery robot

    Carolyn Marvin, a 78-year-old professor emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School of Communication, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after blocking an Avride delivery robot working for Uber Eats in Philadelphia's Center City, according to ABC13 reports relayed by The Verge, TechSpot and Gizmodo. Police responded near Reading Terminal Market, asked her to let the robot pass, and handcuffed her when she refused. Marvin told ABC13 she has blocked delivery robots repeatedly because she believes they are taking jobs from human delivery workers, and said she considers the protests her First Amendment right and plans to keep going.
