    Oh please, all the robots need is a light intensity sensor, some simple targeting, and a gun actuator, and they can do “policing” even more effectively than ICE. Maybe a speaker to play a token warning message before firing. You know something like “HALT! Show your identity papers, you have 10 seconds to comply, 9, 8, 7”

    Movement comes later, once all the immigrants have figured out where the robots are planted.

      Yeah, lol. All the robots need is any actual robotics, and then they’re good to go!

      they can do “policing” even more effectively than ICE.

      A bulldozer with a brick on the pedal can do “policing” more effectively than ICE. That’s not much of a flex.

        I don’t disagree, but have you seen what a bulldozer goes for? Guns are expensive, but a dirt cheap cobot arm with a 9mm and extended mag, will be a tenth or less.

          Musk is well-known for bringing a project to a close way late and way over-budget. He’s the king of overpromising and undelivering. After a couple years of “next quarter, I promise!” they’ll be wishing they’d bought the bulldozer.
