as the city begins to reopen
i find so many things at an intersection
guys on scooters, cars, pedestrians, orange construction cones,
lights, signs, trees, a clock, flyers
and of course
a robot delivering food across town
who gets the right of way?
man or machine?

I very strongly disagree with that quote, Beth. If anything, we are scared of WHAT IT COULD MEAN for us to see them becoming so utterly fake real….

If it is my food, then the robot definitely has the right of way! Does every scooter come with an ugly yellow vest or is it optional?

Those guys were following the robot I think to make sure all went well – funny

Technically a robot, yes. A driverless cart is what it is. A Roomba is technically a robot, but is really just a cleaning machine. When robots begin to look like us the sword will be unsheathed.

Do you have really robots to deliver food on the roads????? We still got men on bicycles…

I say the human. Autonomous cars, as I understand, adjust speed and direction based on what’s around them. So if I pull out in front of him he should stop.
Right? He’ll stop??

Reminds of a joke I heard.the other day—Did you hear the one about the robot crossing the road? It was much easier when we just had to deal with chickens. 😎

Won’t matter, since “man” will become robot (look at how two men already follow the robot) and robot will be called “man.” S C A R YYYYYY.

It’s good to see the world is waking up again; I guess the robots are here to stay. Hopefully they have been programmed to give the right of way to people!
