As someone pointed out, stopping until a human has unblocked their path is fine when the human sees a bot on the sidewalk once in their life but when they have to dodge them 14 times on their way to work, humans stop shoving over and want the bots to get out of their way. It isn’t a deal breaking problem, you just have to design the bots to try not to freeze when blocked but it is a problem that scales with the number of bots so it needs to be addressed.
