yeah but hypothetically, wouldn't you and your friends feel a lot safer if there were autonomous robots with explosives patrolling the street though?

Shot? Really? Shootings are relatively rare in sf.

#5Strangely, I prefer to be shot by a robot than a human cop. Either I had it coming or it was purely an accident. Either way, robots don't get qualified immunity and for some reason it feels less personal, perhaps because robots can't have malicious intent (yet!).

Yep, that’s strange.
The robot could also get hacked by a rouge (or not so rouge) agent attempting to kill you or someone else? At this point, and if these flying bombing robots actually start going around, I’m absolutely certain it will happen.

I have walked in San Francisco for about 8 years now and haven't ever seen anyone get robbed or shot. Police, on the other hand, I see all the time.

Humans are messy and hard to change
Robots can be continuously iterated on.
Which can be kind of scary

These aren't autonomous - they require a human controller
