So if it runs over a pedestrian who gets the vacation?
Sometimes destruction of property is a civic duty
Oh. No… nononono… this shit ain’t right. That bullshit ain’t gonna fly for long… AI controlled police cruisers??? Fuck that! Im not anything like an activist/protester but id set fire to one of those.
It’s Florida. They suck Cop’s dicks and ❤️ Trump.
It’ll be Robocop there before you know it.
There’s probably a load of expensive stuff there waiting to be stolen.
So you can send the car in and it will deploy a drone eh
How about you just deploy a drone
Queue the scene in V For Vendetta with cars monitoring everyone’s phone calls as it drives around.
Except this fucker can deploy a drone that flies right up to your window and records you
That was real life not a movie thing. Literally without exaggeration. At the time that movie was made the famous tech for that was called The Stingray.
We still call them Stingrays.
That is a brand name like kleenex,we have many more products to be scared of <3
Miami. Fucking Miami.
As a Miamian, yes Fucking Miami.
I hate cars and I hate AI. Guess what I think of this.
Should have named it PIG
They know what that did. The resemblance is intentional
You want to buy it a drink?
Well. If you put a drink in the engine oil that’s probably enough to hydrolock it and ruin it. So there’s that.
I was thinking you’d just toss it a cocktail
So its a police car driving around. What if someone actually needs help? What can just a car do?
This whole idea is so utterly stupid, I’m at loss of words.
I agree. I know your post was serious but I couldn’t help thinking of that green goblin truck from that Stephen King movie where tech comes alive. I’m imagine a police car watching a crime in progress and revving it’s engine to intimate them.
It can’t do anything to help anyone, but it’s essentially a mobile Flock camera with license plate tracking and facial recognition. It’s a privacy nightmare, and a massive legal liability for the city (Benn Jordan has an excellent video on his YouTube about Flock cameras and how bad they are). Best case scenario is it drives through a deep puddle during the next hurricane and shorts itself out.
It can call humans to beat the shit out of you
Coming soon to all states in America! Corporate sponsored police robots.
“For us, it’s a way we can touch our community like we never have before”
… By deploying driverless cruisers?
It’s programmed to run over ethnics and then start yelling “HE’S GOT A GUN!” through the speaker while rolling back and forward.
- “Fully autonomous”. Sure it is.
- “We can touch our community in ways we have never done before.” I’m sure the community will feel especially touched and not at all intimidated by multiton robots rolling through their neighborhoods instead of, I dunno, actual people.
- I’m certain that when one of these maims someone, everyone will run to the head of the line to take responsibility and handle the situation with thoughtfulness and care.
By touch they mean surveillance
It’s just disgusting they have the money for this.
Video said it was donated by the company that made it, not that that’s better. Next step autonomous officers donated by Totally Not Killbots LLC
I was looking for the ED-209 comment! I wonder if that is going to be the license plate?
Nothing that a can of paint or a bucket of tar couldn’t fix.
Throw and run … and the local department would have to spend an hour locating the vehicle to get people to it, then a few hours more towing it back, then days more to clean it up.
It had a drone attached to it, that would follow you and record you as you run
Nothing a fan of silly string won’t fix.
Also, there’s wasp and hornet killer cans that shoot 30+feet. Likely enough sticky liquid in there to bring down a little drone.
The right fire extinguisher will make a cloud of visibility cover…
Plenty of low-tech “solutions”.
Balloon or multiple balloons attached to 80lbs fishing line
or conversely, a small hex nut tied to the end of a line fed by a spool of 80lbs fishing line with about 40 feet of line … then use a slingshot aimed at the drone … launch several lines until one gets caught
You’re just wasting tax payer dollars, unfortunately
No. You’re spending tax payer dollars to send a message that the tax payers didn’t want their dollars spent on unmanned police surveillance.
Cleanup is absolutely a time burn, but let’s also be real; they’ll go straight to it via GPS tracking and unless you get the windshield real good, someone will just get in and manual drive it back to the station.
True … but it might be time to figure out a liquid combination that stains or is slightly corrosive. You don’t need to melt things, just corrosive enough to etch, mar or deform glass or plastics of sensor lenses.
You clean everything up but realize that the liquid has permanently damaged an imaging lens cover, either with deep stains or corrosion.
Then you replace it but then it costs money and time.
And you do it over and over again
Hydrofluoric acid is really good at etching glass.
But it’s also really good at eating your bones.
Craft stores sell glass(*) etching cream that will absolutely do this (to the types of glass I’ve used it on). Unless there is some super specific chemistry to windshield glass, a jar of that should work.
Edit: spelling
Contain a small amount and seal it inside a glass ball or cylinder … use a slingshot to throw it
I was thinking paintballs ;)
Termite is pretty easy to make and should do the…ok, pretty much every job
In my experience, they might not clean their own vehicles. They get people serving community service hours for petty crimes to do it for them.
Or so I’m told.
We had to to clean and detail courthouse workers’ (judges, DA, etc) personal vehicles for community service as children.
I know for a fact one of the cities in my area uses the people who are in the city jail for unpaid fines. They get $50 off their fine… by doing all the labor of the jail, like washing the floor, cooking the food, and yes, washing the cop cars.
