    This is also the state were they legalized running over protesters with your car, so maybe they just want this so that they can stop giving the cops PTSD.
    This bad boy can do all the civilian striking on aidewalks for you and you dont even have to borher fixing the autonomous part.

    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

    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.

      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.

      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.

    “For us, it’s a way we can touch our community like we never have before”

    … By deploying driverless cruisers?

    1. “Fully autonomous”. Sure it is.
    2. “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.
    3. 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.

    It’s programmed to run over ethnics and then start yelling “HE’S GOT A GUN!” through the speaker while rolling back and forward.

      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
