Watch Out! Robocop Cars Join Dubai’s Police ForcesteemCreated with Sketch.

in #cars7 years ago

United Arab Emirates policing has signed a deal that will see a mini, self-driving cop cars deployed to fight street crime, ( yeah right...providing you don't run over it with your car )

Dubai has already experimented with android policing, with the deployment of its first robotic officer of the law in May, Now an agreement has been reached by UAE vice president Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and a Singapore firm over an autonomous security vehicle known as O-R3.

It has the ability to do Facial Recognition which is always worrying for law abiding citizens, who care about privacy, because there's always the questions will it be taking my picture and storing it on some government databases and then selling it off to corporations, tracking peoples movements and spying on innocent people? in short... yeah most likely.

It also has the ability to send out a Surveillance Drone, now already there are restrictions in some places for the public using drones, where they can fly them and how high, but what about law enforcement? who's making sure they are not using these drones for wrong reasons such as spying on your family in the back yard, or that hot girl down at the beach?
Because the cops in America and China have been caught miss using drones.

A another thing a lot of people say is well it don't affect me these robot cars or drones, Hmm...

They advertise this machine as an industry game changer, capable of doing "24/7 security shifts that keeps premises secure at all time and reduces the reliance on human guards".
“No off days OR-3 performs its security duties with machine driven efficiency, 24/7, 365.”

So Jobs Will be one of the first things affected in the States and around the world, as companies cut back on security guards who need pay, brakes, vacations, all the things employers hate giving.
Not to mention the cut backs that could be done on real police officers, resulting in less police on the streets.

( Should also include here it's a Robot driving car, so human driver jobs are at risk as they have been pushing to get self driving cars on the roads. )

Does getting shot count as affecting you? Because as of right now they are advertising this car without weapons, but sooner or later we all know they are going to need them, after all Robocop can't be unarmed right ? and with all the shootings in America and Terrorist attacks in Europe, whether they are fake or not, they will eventually put guns on them.

The problem is what happens when innocent people get shot by a Robot, who takes the Responsibility then, who is liable for loss of life, or if it's the robot itself that malfunctions and goes on a killing spree? so many questions in a fast changing world with so few answers.
