Uhm… This seems like preemptive and somewhat unrealistic horn-tooting, since they’re actively testing delivery drones in my neighborhood of seattle, and delivery robots are commonplace on the sidewalks of many cities (london, SF, LA). They’re cute, too!
Demanding more responsible regulation is reasonable and just. Time and time again we’re shown that attempts to prevent the broad adoption of understood technology is as effective as the war on drugs. I just think that a different strategy is going to be needed here.
