- Per nextatv, a robotic police station has officially launched in the Bantian area, fielding humanoid robots, wheeled robots, robot dogs, drones and autonomous patrol vehicles that can patrol autonomously, detect suspicious behavior, help find missing people, receive emergency alerts and respond to incidents.
- TansuYegen pushes back: 'suspicious' can be as buggy as the software — the real questions are who writes the rules and how often they get updated.
- A notable example of autonomous systems in public safety, with the accountability and reliability caveats that come with it.
