Why people fuel this fantasy of roaming robots being stolen?
Of all valuable things that can be stolen, old cars are the easiest choice for a thief and robots are the worst.
An AI device filled to the brim with sensors, cameras, GPS and with remote connectivity is the perfect go-to-prison card.
> Ultimately this leads to robots that can "defend themselves", and so to the obvious escalation of force between humans and machines.
Is this scifi worldbuilding or reality? No, your new car is not going to incinerate thieves like in Robocop 2.
- Rygian 4y ago> An AI device filled to the brim with sensors, cameras, GPS and with remote connectivity Is therefore filled to the brim with valuables that an old car doesn't have. Take for example the ZiGGY [1]. I predict that within 24 hours of it being in service, someone will lift one of them into a van, drive away with it to an abandoned shed, and tear it down for the batteries inside, before the owner can do anything about it.
