  Ok sure, but have we considered arming the robots with assault rifles instead?

    The article mentioned tear gas canisters be equipped instead. I can’t wait for a delivery robot to be near my property, someone tries to mess with it and gets gassed, then I get to enjoy tear gas as well from my front porch.

      Or some kid walks past it, bumps it slightly and gets gassed in the face.

        Well the next kid will think twice about bumping the bot.

    Surely area of effect weaponry would be better.

    The higher collateral impact just serves as an extra lesson to any wannabe thieves.

  How’s that related? A criminal is a criminal, their wealth is irrelevant.

    Because fixing poverty lowers criminality.

      Ahaha! Right, sure!

        Good point. It’s the poorest cities and neighborhoods that have the lowest crime rate. Forgot about that, thanks for educating.

        TIL there’s people who don’t know that petty crime increases with poverty.

        I have been made aware of some dumb groups of people in my time on the internet. But this one is up near the top.

  If we’re all not living in survival mode, why would people work? /s
