And also the fact that these companies hold no responsibility for them results in all the injuries being treated in public healthcare with tax payer money so all the cost is offloaded to whatever country the tech company drops these in. Due to my work I have some info on how much these tend to busy up the ER on weekends when folks get hurt most and it isn't hyperbole, it certaintly isn't the same as bike accidents. It's often facial injuries and stuff like losing teeth, things that could be completely mitigated with mandatory helmets.
Also they tend to make pedestrian lanes inaccessible to disabled people. Around where I live people leave them wherever, a person on a wheelchair is not going to get around with these things littered everywhere.
They need to be city/state run.
