Until they start shooting these idiots, nothing will change.

Flashback: It’s 2084, and construction worker Doug Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is having a day to forget. He’s had his memories messed with, his wife just tried to kill him, and it turns out he might be a spy from Mars. Trying to escape, he leaps into a Johnnycab: an autonomous vehicle complete with a robot “driver”.

Equipped with a peaked cap and pre-programmed responses like “Hope you enjoyed the ride” and “Fasten your seatbelt!”, the robotic Johnnycab looks like a 1950s ventriloquist’s dummy. Until Arnie pulls its robot head off, grabs the joystick and speeds away.

Flashforward to today: Johnnycab is part Uber, part self-driving (and electric) car, part humanoid robot, and part voice recognition system. Yes, Johnnycab is kind of already here. But it also has some distance to go.

Ned Ludd will rise. There will be a neoluddite movement.

The charging cables will be gone within minutes of being installed.

+++++++++++++

Not if they are left energized at 480+Volts. Only a few will be damaged. Then they will be left alone.

They are practicing rioting in case the 49ers win/lose the SuperBowl. Which I’m not watching after CBS gushed over LaBoring, Taylor Swift and other celebrities at the game. Then they had that psuedo Black song, so I decided to shut off my TV..

If not the gauntlet of vandals, the food delivery robots also have to contend with snow in Northern areas.
