The robots’ controllers aren’t under any threat at any time.
- InCityDreams 4y agoThey might get to hear some rather choice language: that alone could be considered stressful. Let alone what they can see (depending on where they choose to point the camera(s)). So, the threat of a better ptsd-related pension can always be considered real. /s just for shiggles; i do appreciate even remote situations may be incredibly stressful - ask a drone pilot/ bomb okay-er or two. Dunno about cops.
