L4sBotAn NYPD security robot will be patrolling the Times Square subway station
FinalBoy1975My own imagination as a person from Boston: The MBTA is waiting to see if this works. If it does, it shall find ways to become more indebted. Orange line, be prepared to continue with the status quo. Power out at Maverick. Again, I’m just adding imagined things of my own. Nothing here in my comment is factual.
lnxtx (xe/xem/xyr)Can even security robots prevent anything?
Is it just fancy CCTV?
ChaoticNeutralCzechCCTV that can follow people, raise an alarm and be shoved in front of an incoming train when it does.
CookieJarObserverMan it would be funny if someone just takes the thing and demands a Ransom…
That thing sucks dick… I know it does…
I’ll be waiting for the news oh when it gets destroyed by someone.
You mean, waiting for news when it gets isekai’d after someone pushes it in front of a train lol.
marreniaI’m waiting for it to end up beat up with baseball bats and dumped in a fountain
…
Damn you

SquishyPandaDevIt would be a real shame if something bad were to happen to it.
Patrolling in what way? Just being there is not a deterrent for a damn thing.
It has cameras and can follow people or raise alarm. It won’t take long until someone shoves it onto train tracks, though.

Imagine paying a robot’s company $9 an hour for it to get HitchBot-Ed or mugged like a food delivery bot by anyone who owns a facemask
Okay, so criminals are like “It saw us with our masks on. We have 10 minutes to get out of here…”. Not a great deterrent.
Ya, my immediate though is this things going to get annihilated somehow quick.

ianovic69Do these people never watch movies? We know how this ends, it goes -
Twenty seconds to comply!
Then everyone dies.
This one is even dumber, it just goes twenty seconds to comply and then become a $20 webcam (for $9/hour of taxpayer funds)
Fat Dalek.
That is a fat Dalek.
*heavy breathing * EXTERMI…NATE
EXTERMINATE THE DOCTOR PEPPER
I’m going to steal it.
PeachManI’m gonna put my dick in it
I already did
I’m gonna push that offbrand baymax onto the tracks.
I bet if you break this thing you will get charged with assault on an officer
Da_BoomWhy do I get phycho pass vibes from this thing?

Gsus4Uh, how is it better than a security camera? Can it dispense pepper spray and chase dudes up stairs?
Well, you see this uses up a far larger chunk of the pointlessly huge police budget. I’m sure they’ll also figure out a way for it to kill people soon.
SundrayAll the things the cops would want this bot to do are prohibited by rules or by the potential for public outrage; no facial recognition, no offensive capabilities, it’s basically just a camera drone. But that will change when the rules change, or when people stop paying attention… if this thing can avoid being trashed for more then ten minutes after it’s deployed.
Yeah I’m waiting for the article about it being pushed onto the tracks.
Hopefully within the first week.
RedEye FlightControlThis was my first thought, too. This thing is gonna get hit by a train.
prohibited by the potential for public outrage
Give it a minute little frogs, this is them initially turning the burner on under the pot. It’s gonna get warmer.
ApeNo1Robocop needs to ease up on the Robodonuts.
Hmmm I wonder if anyone has ever hacked a police department by requesting all the bodycam footage and watching an authentication happen.
How long until it shoots the first black person? Place your bets now.
Are we even taking bets that don’t say the word “month” in them?
So a security camera on wheels
vvvvanMaybe this ridiculous thing will eventually replace some of the worst or most useless human cops… in twenty years, after a few billion tax dollars, just before their union neuters the project and renders it virtually useless. Think of the possibilities!
Basically a protecton. Make sure to have metro tickets on you.
Protectron (Fallout 3)
Protectrons are a type of robot encountered in the Capital Wasteland in 2277. Many Protectrons were commissioned by the U.S. Army before the Great War of 2077. They are painted a dark olive drab with a white star on their chest. These mechanized soldiers still wander the wastes, attacking everything from radroaches to Brotherhood Outcasts. The Pitt adds a new variety of Protectron called the "factory Protectron", which lacks a glass dome but possesses a single ocular lens and a cage around the c
Inb4 someone gets charged with assaulting an officer for drawing a dick on a robot
How long until it drowns itself?
Oh my God they look like a white Dalek!
RobotToasteryou have 20 seconds to comply…
