Why would they do that when they can just use a horse or a wheeled/tracked vehicle?

Why would they do that when they can just use a horse or a wheeled/tracked vehicle?
- est31 6y agoHorses need to be trained (usually they don't like trampling people) and have high maintenance cost. As for the wheeled vehicle, it can be prevented access with roadblocks. Also it can't enter houses. Something that can walk over piles of rubble would be clearly very useful.
- gimboland 6y agoBecause it's utterly terrifying?
- aeyes 6y agoBecause you need a human to control it. A robot however could just be sent on patrol and its AI would do the rest leaving no one to blame.
- bildung 6y agoBecause then suddenly it's a tragical accident caused by a software fault, with no human responsible - just as most data breaches are framed as "cyber attacks" instead of what they actually are: negligence.
