What about the "no motorized vehicle rule" on bike paths?
Right. Depends on the enforcement. This one time myself and a colleague were driving a robotic vehicle, basically a suit-case-sized, manually remote-controlled toy (so not autonomous), on a local shared city path, doing some testing. We were asked to move to an adjacent State-owned path. "They probably don't allow motorized vehicles either, but if anyone complains at least it'll take them longer to respond". A nice case of "not my jurisdiction - not my problem". Suffices to say, we never had anyone tell us anything when we were on that State path.

The timeless video equivalent of your post:
And it never really got better
But, from looking at the 'pixels' and having seen a few 'robots' in my time, all I can think of is:
Honestly though, if they're predictable, somewhat slow moving, not too large, and there aren't whole armies of them to impede the traffic, I have no problem sharing the path with them. If they manage to follow their planned route very closely (RTK GPS augmented by LIDAR maps?), they'd likely behave better than 80% of the MUP users. If they oscillate all over the road, then I'd be pissed.
