I haven't worked in robotics, but I've worked in automation for quite some time (digital and real-world). Two examples I can think of:
- SCADA always had hot, hardware backups and failure detection. To the extent that I thought this was dogma.
- Physical automation (like car construction equipment and robotics, pick and place machines, etc) have safety zones that humans aren't allowed in or near. Same thing for Amazon warehouse robotics.
I'm not sure how we leapt to, "beta test cars on the street" from there.
- TOMDM 5y agoI think the issue is partly that people don't see cars as large industrial robots because we're just so used to them. Everyone who has ever written code for a robot knows you should treat every pinch point as a finger blender, but the cars look nothing like them. Tesla's branding may make that excusable for the layman, but for the employees at Tesla, that branding is incredibly irresponsible
