In Milton Keynes, UK, delivery robots made by Starship Technologies have been operating since 2018, delivering groceries from local stores like the Co-op. These small, six-wheeled autonomous robots use cameras, sensors, radar, and AI to navigate sidewalks and avoid obstacles, offering a new way for people to receive goods. Some people find the robots helpful, while others raise concerns about their impact on pedestrian safety.
Key Facts
Delivery robots have been active in Milton Keynes since 2018 and are expanding to other UK cities like Wakefield, Leeds, and Bristol.
The robots carry deliveries, such as groceries, directly to customers’ homes.
The robots move at about 4 miles per hour (6.5 kph) and use technology to detect and avoid obstacles, including pedestrians.
Users like Amrita Singh appreciate the convenience, especially when managing children or illness.
The UK government is considering laws to allow such delivery robots on sidewalks nationwide.
Disability and pedestrian groups express concern that robots can block paths and create safety issues, especially for people with disabilities or parents with strollers.
Starship Technologies says the robots recognize mobility devices and can be remotely controlled by a human if needed.
Tests in other countries have faced pauses due to complaints from disabled users about blocked access.

The Trump administration is reviewing the California Coastal Commission's work, intensifying a conflict with California’s Democratic leaders over energy and environmental policies. This dispute involves issues like spaceport developments, oil production, and offshore wind energy projects.
Key Facts
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is required to review state coastal management programs under federal law.
The Department of Commerce called for an evaluation of California’s coastal agency and accused the state of blocking spaceport projects.
In 2023, California’s coastal commission denied the US Space Force’s request to increase SpaceX rocket launches, leading to a lawsuit settled in April.
California aims for a carbon-neutral electrical grid by 2045 and supports renewable energy, while the Trump administration is pushing to increase domestic oil production.
The Trump administration used emergency powers to restart an oil pipeline that was closed after a major spill in 2015, facing legal opposition from California’s attorney general.
California and the federal government are in conflict over an offshore wind project after a $427 million federal grant was withdrawn.
California’s attorney general sent a notice of intent to sue over the federal government’s actions against offshore wind development.
The disagreements reflect broader tensions between federal fossil fuel policies and California’s environmental goals.

Security agencies from the Five Eyes countries warned that AI tools can now hack computer systems automatically, increasing cyber risks. Unlike before, AI lowers the skill needed for attacks, letting more people cause harm online, so defending against these threats will also need AI help.
Key Facts
Five Eyes national security agencies issued a joint warning about AI increasing cyber-attack risks.
AI models can now hack into networks, steal data, launch ransomware, and damage systems with little human guidance.
Previously, hacking required high skill, but AI reduces this skill gap, enabling less-experienced attackers to carry out attacks.
"Script kiddies" used pre-made hacking tools before; AI tools make this problem much bigger and more dangerous.
AI developed by large companies tries to prevent harmful uses, but smaller and open-source AI models don’t have these safety limits.
Open-source AI models can run on personal computers and will spread like past hacking tools, increasing risks.
Using AI to spy on users or report bad behavior only works for big companies and fails for open-source versions.
The growing availability of AI hacking tools challenges traditional cyber defenses and ethics, requiring new AI-based security methods.
