The laws of robotics:
- A robot shall never harm a human, or through inaction allow a human to come to harm.
- Fuck other robots though. Fuck them right up.
As it turns out, the impact wasn’t too severe. The Waymo cab, to its credit, hit the brakes immediately and avoided knocking the poor little thing over. And moments later, while the robotaxi is still in a daze, the Serve robot drives away like nothing happened.
Smash seems to be overselling it.
They had hot, angry robot sex afterward
For revenge or for reconciliation?
Yes
Sounds like a good time to use the word “bump”
Maybe even “boop”.
It appears the video may have been sped up in the part just before the impact. I would like to see the unedited clip, I bet it was way less severe than it looked.
The word “slam” has been reserved for headlines of someone giving minor criticism, can’t use that unfortunately.
Begun, the robot wars have.
Little robot crossed against the signal, and couldn’t navigate the curb, big robot cali rolled the right turn and didn’t yield to the pedestrian walk way. What a shit show. Glad it wasn’t someone in a wheel chair.
So what we’re saying is, this is it, folks. We’ve finally reached robot parity with exactly how humans would behave in the same situation.
Not quite.
We’d need the waymo cab to start screaming about how the robot just jumped right out in front of it, and how they should stay the hell out of the way.
Then we’ll have reached parity.
how *Americans would behave.
We really don’t want Americans’ autonomous vehicles here.
sincerely,
EuropeYes, yes we do. False advertising / promises aside, autonomous vehicles will likely result in lowered accident and death rates. Until we’ve reached the point that we’ve eliminated private cars entirely, autonomous vehicles would be a step forward.
There should be an open communication standard that all robots use to communicate with each other.
And it will only be used for good and nothing nefarious.
How about if we had sixteen different proprietary such protocols instead?
We’d need a seventeenth unifying protocol

Don’t really want to go to YouTube either, but thank you.
PURITY TEST ALERT! YOUTUBE LINK DETECTED!
Jesus y’all are a bunch of lock-stepping little fascists.
You must be exhausted.
Every robot should have some kind of electronic blinker to let others know they’re robots. That way, we can avoid a bunch of bumps and crashes.
You call that a smash? Stop sensationalising, come now.
A car gently tapped a thing during a turn and came to a stop.
