In my opinion robots are the up-and-coming problem that will exacerbate existing problems that need to be addressed first. I would like to see his opinion on the existing problem of drive-by-wire vessels or at the risk of sounding like hyperbole what I call Internet-Connected-Death-Machines or ICDM's. Not just automobiles but also aircraft, trains and sea vessels. Internet connected vehicles plus control of steering, acceleration and braking via the vessels computer is already an existing problem. Some researchers got into trouble some time ago for taking over remote control of a vehicle on a live highway. There are also videos of people mysteriously accelerating and driving into buildings whilst the driver is trying and failing to stop the vehicle. I'm not linking the ring videos of Anne Heche but those can not be unseen. Before we can secure robots and prevent them from taking people out I think we first have to secure their predecessors of which they are based on. If a trusted partner or random skiddie can execute malicious undocumented codes or add their own malicious code then the game was over before it started in my cranky opinion. Cars and their remote networks get released and patched just like existing internet services and have a long lag time in between patches giving malevolent parties plenty of time to erase drivers. Also missing from these automobiles is a truly-tamper-and-fire-proof "little black box" that records every instruction executed by the car for the last 72 hours, including the undocumented or hidden instructions.
