Kiwibot has operated delivery robots in Berkeley since 2017, founded in UC Berkeley’s Skydeck incubator. Delivers food within approximately one mile of campus with over 250,000 total deliveries completed.
Googling quickly, there are claims that it has since shut down and also that it was remote-controlled rather than fully autonomous. In any case, it’d be pretty niche and clearly only available due to the novelty value.
Robotaxis in 20+ cities was something claude initially thought false and then gpt-5.1 thought it was “borderline true” based on a bunch of baidu deployments. E.g. source. No idea whether that holds up, idk the robotaxi situation in china. (Also that news is slightly after september 22.)
I also think the starcraft one is probably wrong. Looking now, the models seem to be mainly leaning on 2019 cites, which I think weren’t sufficient to show AI consistently beating humans.
Yep, resolutions not very reliable.
