These scooters I think are really interesting, even if the 'leave them anywhere' aspect is a bit over the top/annoying.

They could be especially handy for last mile between subway/light rail stations and homes/workplaces.

It reminds me of the 90s when we has a constant stream of articles about people talking on cell phones in restaurants. Cell phones were a crisis that could destroy the restaurant industry. If we don’t ban them nobody will go out to dinner any more because who wants to eat dinner with everyone shouting around you?

Turned out to not be a problem.

People complain about dockless bikes and scooters on sidewalks. But its not like anyone is inconvenienced by them. You’ll get used to seeing them eventually.
