In a past job, I got a chance to deal with one of those Boston Dynamics robot dogs in action. Was not impressed.
Given NYC, would not be surprised if they’re tagged, sensors are torched, or they’re covered in bodily fluids. Or they end up at the bottom of the Hudson river shortly after deployment.
Come to think of it… most likely scenario: scrapped and sold for parts.
They will have to be very well designed and able to withstand powertools. Once people figured out how to remove batteries from rental ebikes/scooters it quickly becomes a thing.
If they ever have these in Manchester it’d end up with hooded scallies riding hacked ones around and they’d get dumped in a canal. The Street finds its own use for things.
