I hate seeing this kind of bot on bot crime

Little robot crossed against the signal, and couldn't navigate the curb, big robot cali rolled the right turn and didn't yield to the pedestrian walk way. What a shit show. Glad it wasn't someone in a wheel chair.

So what we're saying is, this is it, folks. We've finally reached robot parity with exactly how humans would behave in the same situation.

how *Americans would behave.

We really don't want Americans' autonomous vehicles here.

Not quite.

We'd need the waymo cab to start screaming about how the robot just jumped right out in front of it, and how they should stay the hell out of the way.

Then we'll have reached parity.

As it turns out, the impact wasn't too severe. The Waymo cab, to its credit, hit the brakes immediately and avoided knocking the poor little thing over. And moments later, while the robotaxi is still in a daze, the Serve robot drives away like nothing happened.

Smash seems to be overselling it.

The word "slam" has been reserved for headlines of someone giving minor criticism, can't use that unfortunately.

They had hot, angry robot sex afterward

We'll win the robot wars by pitting them against each other.

The laws of robotics:

  1. A robot shall never harm a human, or through inaction allow a human to come to harm.
  2. Fuck other robots though. Fuck them right up.

First glance I thought that was One Must Fall: 2097, but turns out below it doesn't even get close to that epic level.
