This is my favorite headline in a while and I'm really not sure why

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

The headline conveys an "Oh, shit!" feeling on the part of the robot. Which is hilarious.

I did imagine it immediately in a panic after hitting the car.

I wonder if the witness followed it at a brisk pace while on the phone with the cops.

It feels like the fun side of the cyberpunk dystopia we have seen in media before. Really it's just the double plus unfun real dystopia.

I mean, the dilivery company will have to pay for the damages. It's just scratches, probably a conversation starter of someone sees it haha

It's too short to put a note under the wiper. What was it supposed to do?

[-] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

It the robot itself can't do anything (and what could it do?), it needs to stop, alert the operating company, and have a human come out and resolve the issue. The food delivery is less important than ensuring the wronged party gets properly notified and made whole.
