If that had been a person who refused orders to leave the scene they would’ve been manhandled to the ground and arrested at best. Delivery robot was treated with more respect by the police than an actual human.
That’s because it’s built to travel on roadways and bike lanes, leaving its fellow sidewalk crawlers in the dust.
This is a pretty concerning detail buried near the end. How safe is it to bikers to be sharing space with these kinds of things? And if they become more common, what stops them from crowding out the space entirely?
The same thing that keeps bikers from crowding out multiple lanes when they travel. Think of the robots’ safety!
I wonder what the legal ramifications of pushing one over would be
You can rest assured corpos will have laws on the books to protect their property. Don’t be surprised if this property becomes an extension of their “person” and attempted murder or manslaughter charges are a possibility.
Shit. Robot’s got hustle. Get it little guy. ACAB. Fuck them cops, get that paper.
Shocked the cops didn’t light it up for “resisting.”
Its corporate property, protecting it is the police main job lol
He knows his rights! Also, he also has legitimate claims to sovereign citizenship.
Next time SWAT has me barricaded in I’m gonna have to remember to just start ordering as much delivery as possible. The humming sound you can’t hear but feel in your fillings is the infrasound from an approaching Amazon drone swarm delivering the 1000 lead dildos I Next Half Hour ordered.
Good thing it wasn’t dog shaped or the cops would have shot it.
Uncivilized nightmares.
