But I wonder if the decision requires the "robot" to have a human controller or can the police unilaterally expand the kind of devices they use to include more autonomous ones?
- xkcd-sucks 4y agoIn the USA, if I understand it correctly, it seems there is a lot of case law establishing criminal or civil liability for autonomous mechanical devices that kill or injure someone - Typically traps like tripwired guns, so it would be interesting to see how it applies to autonomous robots having some degree of "perception" and "judgement"
- giraffe_lady 4y agoDo those cases apply to the police though? Qualified immunity is basically a separate, non-overlapping set of case law for police liability that also coincidentally almost always rules that they have none.
