I wonder what the end cost actually is and what kind of life expectancy do they have. Just buying some land and connecting utilities is a small fortune.

Are they like those smart cars from years ago where you think they must be super cheap but actually cost the same as a full size

I'm sure its remote controlled robots, and police are known for being level headed good guys and not for being power abusing psychos.

We aren't even at the point of reliable/safe self driving cars yet.

So if a robot enters a situation why would it need deadly force.

It's not a human that can be killed it should be equipped with tasers, tear gas or other non lethal.

Seems like turning it into a video game is a bad idea. They will shoot then say ohh a software glitch did it not me.
