Is it bullet proof?

It’s security theater. It makes people feel better but it’s not going to actually fix anything. I’ve pretty much accepted that the US is well into third world country status and we’re all screwed.


Sure, MAGA, sure.

It will definitely get attacked and graffitied up. Look at all the videos of smart-delivery robots that get attacked and robbed.

It's funny when the robot starts pleading "please stop! please stop!". Very dystopian.

If A.I. takes over, I hope it remembers I always thanked it when asking it a question.

Parker the security robot, is a five-foot tall, 400-pound security robot being tested in a MoCo parking garage.

How do you think this is going to turn out?
Do you think more Parkers are coming to a lot or other public spaces near you?
Is this the future?
Will we be walking around the neighborhood with a Parker-like companion instead of our dogs (will Parker-ots poop on lawns and be able to scoop their own shit)?


It's no ED209, so not impressed. How it handle stairs?

The reporter said its features were panoramic cameras, a license plate reader, and a distress call button. While I’m sure those are important features, couldn’t we get similar features by installing extra cameras (including some positioned to catch the license plates) along with some devices like SIRI that could be voice-activated to call the police? Wouldn’t that be more cost effective?


It's a test. Eventually, MoCo will want the robots roaming the streets.


To do what? If humans are all inside, what's the need?

This parking lot was the site of a tragic incident that perhaps could have been prevented if a Parker existed? It's going to take some time getting used to.

I assume Parker can right itself, because it's going to spend a lot of tipped over otherwise.

More people are apparently turning into homebodies. If they don't go outside, do we really need security robots?
