(60,010 posts)the next youtube clip after this one is a promo for the robots, they mention you can link to them via the Chrome browser, which is Google made.
Interesting read about the company here: https://www.knightscope.com/about
Right now their stock is 8.00 a share.
downside.....lots of emphasis on police/ guard function, preying on fear of crime.

(14,581 posts)But let me just ask a quick question: If there are ten security guards who are replaced by six of these robots and 'three highly trained security guards,' then what will we do with the other seven people - the ones displaced by the robots? How will they live now? What kind of jobs will be out there for them?
AND, concerning the three 'highly trained' security guards, they are going to make SUBSTANTIALLY more money, right? Right?
LAST, just because we can do something, does that always mean we should? I guess from a shareholder profit standpoint this is a great thing. But from a worker standpoint not so much. And, what if one of these things malfunctions and goes after somebody? Could happen.
