There aren’t many people hitchhiking in America anymore, but the population of hitchhiking robots is about to explode, from zero to one. Next week, hitchBOT will begin a journey across America, relying on the kindness of strangers along the way.
Most laws seem to state that no person may stand in a roadway to solicit a ride, but it seems like a robot is in the clear. If you spot this little fellow, why not join in the fun?
