  Do these people never watch movies? We know how this ends, it goes -

  Twenty seconds to comply!

  Then everyone dies.

    This one is even dumber, it just goes twenty seconds to comply and then become a $20 webcam (for $9/hour of taxpayer funds)

  All the things the cops would want this bot to do are prohibited by rules or by the potential for public outrage; no facial recognition, no offensive capabilities, it’s basically just a camera drone. But that will change when the rules change, or when people stop paying attention… if this thing can avoid being trashed for more then ten minutes after it’s deployed.

    Yeah I’m waiting for the article about it being pushed onto the tracks.

      This was my first thought, too. This thing is gonna get hit by a train.

    Give it a minute little frogs, this is them initially turning the burner on under the pot. It’s gonna get warmer.

  Uh, how is it better than a security camera? Can it dispense pepper spray and chase dudes up stairs?

  source

  • Astroturfed@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Well, you see this uses up a far larger chunk of the pointlessly huge police budget. I’m sure they’ll also figure out a way for it to kill people soon.

  How long until it shoots the first black person? Place your bets now.

    Maybe this ridiculous thing will eventually replace some of the worst or most useless human cops… in twenty years, after a few billion tax dollars, just before their union neuters the project and renders it virtually useless. Think of the possibilities!

  Patrolling in what way? Just being there is not a deterrent for a damn thing.

  source

  • ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It has cameras and can follow people or raise alarm. It won’t take long until someone shoves it onto train tracks, though.

      The robot is gonna fall into a bad crowd soon after being deployed.

      Okay, so criminals are like “It saw us with our masks on. We have 10 minutes to get out of here…”. Not a great deterrent.

  Can even security robots prevent anything?

  Is it just fancy CCTV?

    CCTV that can follow people, raise an alarm and be shoved in front of an incoming train when it does.
