Humans who attack robots

Sending a telepresence robot to a bar is rude and inappropriate. if i was the bar owner i would have confiscated it, and made the owner come down in person to collect it.

i wouldn’t fly my drone into a bar or drive my rc car into a bar and if i did i’d expect things to be thrown at it because i’m a human and i understand why those are dick things to do. worse then trying to setup a whole dual monitor tower desktop rig at the coffee shop. be good humans people, especially when introducing new tech.

none of those things are indicators of people who actually have psychological issues with robots and autonomous objects that trigger their fight or flight response. that is a real thing, but a very different thing than the general bars reaction. i’ve seen young kids lose their shit over animatronics at disney and those aren’t even autonomous, they are basically manikins with a few servos.

The two car incidents sound more like people who have issues specifically with driverless cars. Again that is a very different thing for a different reason. they aren’t hating the car because it is a “robot” rather than a car, they just don’t like the idea of “driverless” vehicles and view them with disdain.

There really are humans who compulsively attack robots, these aren’t the humans you are looking for. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
