A person remotely operating a remote-controlled small vehicle (delivery robot) only has to make an effort to move it at a speed and in a manner that does not endanger others; there is no legal obligation to do so.
遠隔操作型小型車(自動配送ロボットなど)を遠隔操作する人は、他人に危害を及ぼさないような速度と方法で通行させるよう努めればよく、そうする義務まではない。
This statement is FALSE
Explanation
The law states that the operator "must" move the vehicle at a speed and in a manner that does not endanger others, so this is a binding legal obligation, not a best-effort goal. The speed and manner must be adjusted to the condition of the road, the traffic, and the vehicle itself.
