It'll be about a week before the first reported incident of some operator sending it into bathroom/bedroom while occupied to watch.

I am sure one of these companies will fuck up and do that. But for the most part, that kind of problem is pretty easy to avoid. Any company using computer vision knows that now, and has high standards of operation (usually by contracting with companies that then have that incentive) to stop that from happening.

  • Correct - they sub it out to a sub who subs it out to a sub who...

    Therefore the responsibility is always 5 steps removed

    • I get that it's funny, but that's almost never true. And the business risk is on the robotics company. That's why I'm saying maybe somewhere it happens once, but it's just like safety and Uber drivers, the scrutiny on the brand causes really good incentives. Uber is way way safer than taxis ever were, or are. Women even drive for Uber - they could never have been safe driving taxis.
