The EV of the future robotic world from Mr Musk..

How long before we are fighting then for human survival in brutal urban warfare...

Or we simply push it over and it won't be able to get back up again before it runs out of charge.... .

Article says:
“But Mr Musk said he wanted to solve one of the toughest problems artificial intelligence: how to make a machine that can replace a human.”

The fact that a human actually wants to do this is really worrying.

As for robotics, I rather like the Honda version, seems less evil and is designed to help humans, rather than the goal of making them redundant in the world.

It's sort of along the lines I've what I've thought all along.

I think EM is going to use them to replace even more of the factory workforce. Couple that with software automation that we see these days, I'd be quite worried if I was a low skilled worker, as we're advancing, it's looking like those jobs are more and more in danger.

I'm not sure it's something I'd worry about in terms of Terminator for some time yet though, much as some ex-Googler thought their AI was sentient, until we get to that point, they're just following rules.
