I notice that it is operating on a sidewalk or some sort of cordoned off
area. Are they proposing that all urban streets get rebuilt to
accommodate these?

Why would they need to be?
But I'd bet the sensors & control systems (in part) get
added to cars & trucks.
Might even make sense to retrofit current vehicles
if it saves enough in insurance & collision damages.
