If one of these bumped into me I feel like I'd want to tip it over in response.
I wouldn’t just feel it, it would be on its side.
Welcome to the Resistance. Simple steps like this are the right response.
TBH I think I’m at the rebellious point of do it without it bumping into me. Steal it’s cargo and dump it somewhere.
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.
They'll have cameras and gps though. So be careful, the cops might protect it more than humans. Catch it in a faraday cage maybe.
They seem portable enough to lug to a river which is exactly where it would go if one hit me or anyone i was with.
Just don’t leave it there though, the world is already so polluted.
