> So even if you don't have a Spot with a mg on its shoulder patrolling your neighborhood, you could be put in jail if you're caught removing the robot's battery on the 360 cam. Would likely lead to robot laws. There are "delivery robots" on the campus near where I live that drive around on the sidewalk. I think they're partly run autonomously, but partly controlled by out-sourced human labor. They don't get in my way too much, but I deeply dislike the way some stupid delivery company injected themselves into the commons of the sidewalk. Maybe it's a little sadistic, but every time I'm in that area and I walk by one I fantasize about kicking it. I don't know for certain, but that's probably already illegal and I know that they would have good video evidence to file a police report with. ... I don't think it's alarmist. Even today, robots already have more protection than I'm comfortable with. *edit: fluency and spelling
