A system that can maneuver autonomously is dystopian? Lol, what? This system does NOT fire autonomously

The tank-like robot has the ability to transport itself to a preset destination. It can also spot and avoid obstacles

It is dystopian. It looks like a alpha version of the robocop "bad" robots. It is indeed dystopian. It doesn't fire autonomously just because creators could not implement a "directive 4" (don't shoot who I don't want to be shoot).

So automated driving is dystopian? Brace yourself, I have news about self-driving cars

[-] hazelnot 28 points 2 years ago

I have news about them too: they're not actually coming anytime soon, it's all techbro propaganda

I believe that wide adoption of self-driving cars will take a while, but there are already autonomous taxis running around San Francisco

Yeah, and they keep blocking emergency vehicles in intersections and the whole city wants them gone.

They're prototypes using real human cities as proving grounds without the consent of the population.
