Saw a video of one of these things at an intersection asking a pedestrian to hit the walk button for it. He just laughed and said nope. I bet a real person could hit the button.
The thing is it it was an overall fair system most people would get along with the machines. But capitalists and ‘leaders’ have started to make us hate it.
These must be pretty haltable tbh. Either by covering the lidar and I am guessing there will be a safety stop button somewhere. What happens then can the be force rebooted?
And how do they cross the road can the be fooled? Are they crossing after a sound occurs or is it a can see them being gps.
It’s gonna take bunches of us rounding them up like sheep and hearding them towards a locked field.
