Would You Like This?

I was thinking about robberies. There are enough poor people who'd like some food for nothing.

@MALUSE True, I wonder how big they are. Could someone just pick one up and smash it, to get inside?

@Ronrybs Ask a professional thief of cars. I'm sure he'd only laugh about this thingy.

I feel a. Less possibility of accidents. The way these pizza delivery boys weave through traffic here, it is scary because they turn up so suddenly. b. Saving of medical and insurance costs...not to mention need to hire temporary staff. That is for the stuff delivery company and on macro scale for the country. c. Prevention of hold ups. We have had a few cases of Pizza guys entering in as a gang so yeah...that kinda danger is not there.

It is impersonal for sure.

@vandana7 , Even with all the reasons that you give here, I still don't want robots to do everything.

I am for having fewer kids. Don't get me wrong. I love kids. I was watching a few YouTube links that showed people with four and six kids living in motels because they lost their jobs. It was disturbing. They earned well, but did not save for such contingency. Letting go of car and traveling by bus may be hurtful. Especially in the US. Many poor are living in cars and tents. I was disturbed when the lady proudly announced she was pregnant even though she was living in a tent. Really? How many infections are possible? How safe is the child's life here? There has to be a balance between traditional beliefs and practical aspects. God has given us even technologies to have kids later. Therefore, shouldn't we defer making babies till we can truly afford them? By affording I mean, we ensure we can give them enough for standing on their own feet, and have enough for not be burden on them in our old age. So employment is not always possible. Controlling our desires for vacations, for things, and even babies is.

Not too keen on robots either.

I wonder also!

@DaddyEvil , If it were just me, there would not be so many robots in this world.

@marlina The link says they're only knee high, so not that easy to see on a busy street. The link doesn't say how much real world testing they've had, either. With all the problems the automated cars have had, I can't see these things doing all that well to start off with.

I think risk exists the other way. Kinda, somebody drops by with pizza, and then comes the hold up. With this, that risk is not there. I was wondering how this robot is gonna get into elevators and ring the door bell.

To me it is silly

@vandana7 I see a lot of problems with it too.

It does not appeal to me at all.

@marlina I think after the last 2 years we are all lacking in human contact. This just adds to that.

@patgalca I much prefer to deal with real people.

I think the customer has to have a code to open it.

Everything is getting too weird for me.

@marlina Well I do too in the end.

I prefer humans

@RebeccasFarm , I mean "decent humans"

@marlina Me either.

@LeaPea2417 ,

I would not trust this.

I would not like it

Not either.

@DocAndersen Let's agree to disagree!

I don't think that it is cool, I prefer dealing with humans.

@marlina there are many times when I agree with you on that. but automated delivery makes it so much easier for so many people.

I don't like it myself

@marlina

Same as you!

Me too. Though I think this robot will not like Indian roads. We have so many potholes and so many hawkers all around and so much of traffic jam.

@Fleura , Questions and I don't have any answer for them, sorry,

@vandana7 Yes you wonder how it would cope with all the traffic, and would drivers be able to see it easily? And what about pedestrians especially blind people, for example. And of course rural roads would be a whole other question - what would happen if it met a herd of cows, or a combine harvester on a single-track road I wonder?

Same here.

@just4him , Me too

@marlina I like human contact.

I am not either, I prefer humans.

@marlina Me too.

I want to deal with humans.

@marlina Me too, safer.
