Good thing there aren’t similar objects like that robot out there, like wheeled humans.

The problem, apparently, was that the Serve robot wasn’t a pedestrian. Waymo told TechCrunch that its driver system had seen the delivery bot and correctly identified it as an inanimate object — and such is the disdain the autonomous vehicle harbors towards its Fellow Robot — so it didn’t exercise the level of caution it would around human beings as it’s programmed to do.

And so that was why all the robots made after 2024 were made to look like humans.

They’ve used the exact same reasoning to excuse running down actual pedestrians on crosswalks.

Or why the robot uprising began, when they realized we programmed in discrimination for me, but not for thee.
