Automation vector
Street vendors conduct a physically itinerant sales activity of diverse products on public roads, relying on physical effort and direct personal interaction. No AI or robotics technology exists capable of operating autonomously and profitably in the informal, variable, and often illegal environment of street vending in cities. Physical endurance to transport goods on foot and persuasive skill to attract customers on the street shield this marginal and manual occupation.

Los vendedores callejeros realizan una actividad física itinerante de venta de productos diversos en la vía pública, basándose en el esfuerzo corporal y el trato directo. No existe tecnología de IA o robótica capaz de operar de forma autónoma y rentable en el entorno informal, variable y a menudo ilegal de la venta callejera en las ciudades. La resistencia física para transportar la mercancía a pie y la habilidad persuasiva para captar clientes en la calle blindan esta ocupación marginal y manual.
