But also, remove bright ad boards...not for the robots though, but for the people.

and whoever decided it did needs to be made an example of. too many people are harmed by half baked autonomous shit every day.

No no, let’s put the blame on bright ad boards, and require cities to remove that form of advertisement. You know, for safety.

That's the same reasoning that forced pedestrians out of basically every roadway

Have we considered modern urban design is terrible for pedestrians? Humans make this same mistake with regularity. We're only able to cross roads at specific places and times that are solely designed around cars

But no, we'll keep blaming all the people who get hit for it, as well as all the robots. Couldn't possibly be bad design that neither humans nor robots can consistently safely cross

It cannot be blinded. What an incredibly bold statement, unless they aim to go bankrupt soon anyway

Yes, the real issue is that it disobeyed a Don't Walk signal, which is clearly a defect for a robot allowed on public streets. People saying it "fled the scene" are just making noise.

"The fault lies with one of our subcontractors, one of the janitors is to blame, send him to prison. Anyway, we will keep doing business as we are a corporation and therefore a person and therefore none of us who own the company are at fault whatsoever."

There was no actual collision

The injuries were from hitting the brakes. I've certainly has to brake for people and animals in the roadway before, never considered it an incident. Guess it's different because there were injuries in the bus, which I wouldn't have expected from just braking

fled

robot hit and run.

If i put a rock into traffic then it's my fault. I see no difference.

The responsibility should lie with the company that decided the robot was safe enough to deploy. How it distributes liability among its developers, manufacturers and suppliers is its problem, not the public's.

along with "I am fast asf boi"

Is it run remotely ny a human?

Edit: the 'ny' said 'by' for 2 days before some mod or software agent decided to modify my post and change the spelling. WTF ?

These techs are seemingly developed with minimal coordination between companies let alone governments. With serious effort and planning, this could've been avoided with software providing both real time info or direct link with the city traffic system.

What ass backwards timeline we're living in that we got Asimov's three laws on backwards? That a human being cannot harm a robot? 🤬

In split second decisions, you don't want to run the risk that the driver thought for a moment it's a robot and not a small kid. Safety first. Let the robot go and sue the company.

Just asking for them to hit a runaway stroller they mistook for a delivery robot

Unfortunately we may be forced to remove all advertising from public spaces to make them safer to robots.

Soon we may be able to ban these finally

downvoters can't tell satire

A bus driver should be able to brake without risk of mass injury. They need to review rider safety to minimize injuries

It's stupid robots are in traffic, but that could just as easily be a small child running out

Seriously, I don't care what anyone says, busses should have seat belts.

What are you gonna do?

People in city buses don't usually put on the seatbelt. If you're going to start doling out fines for that, you'll have a literal revolt. Though it's been mandated for years and years.

The driver should've just driven over the robot without stopping though. A robot is not a human being or even an animal that there's a moral imperative to save. Maybe it'll teach starship to program it to not cross a pedestrian crossing when there's a red light for pedestrians. Though I suspect there could've been damage to the bus's front bumper so perhaps that would've been a bigger danger to his job than a few injuries.
