A video appears to show the future of transportation: a Waymo robotaxi smashing into a Serve Robotics delivery robot.

    The laws of robotics:

    1. A robot shall never harm a human, or through inaction allow a human to come to harm.
    2. Fuck other robots though. Fuck them right up.

    As it turns out, the impact wasn’t too severe. The Waymo cab, to its credit, hit the brakes immediately and avoided knocking the poor little thing over. And moments later, while the robotaxi is still in a daze, the Serve robot drives away like nothing happened.

    Smash seems to be overselling it.

      It appears the video may have been sped up in the part just before the impact. I would like to see the unedited clip, I bet it was way less severe than it looked.

    There should be an open communication standard that all robots use to communicate with each other.

    And it will only be used for good and nothing nefarious.

      How about if we had sixteen different proprietary such protocols instead?

    Little robot crossed against the signal, and couldn’t navigate the curb, big robot cali rolled the right turn and didn’t yield to the pedestrian walk way. What a shit show. Glad it wasn’t someone in a wheel chair.

      So what we’re saying is, this is it, folks. We’ve finally reached robot parity with exactly how humans would behave in the same situation.

        Not quite.

        We’d need the waymo cab to start screaming about how the robot just jumped right out in front of it, and how they should stay the hell out of the way.

        Then we’ll have reached parity.
