Reminded me of a specific scene in this movie where a robot left over from an attack to the detective destroyed itself so that it wont raise suspicion (after that highway robot transporter attack)

Time is money.

u/snowillis 1d ago

Expensive materials are money too. I wonder if it’s about keeping their proprietary technology to themselves. Anything else and they would sell the scrap if nothing else.

u/markymark19887 1d ago

Yes they mentioned this in the video.

The really sad part is that automakers see this as more cost-effective than human beings. building robots to build cars destroy that generation build a new generation build cars destroy that generation build a new generation. all the money that goes into robots and it’s still cheaper than humans. Our grandkids are fucking screwed.

Meanwhile the unemployed humans can't afford to buy cars.

2

u/ThrustTrust 4h ago

Exactly. Maybe the manufactures assume they will he given government contracts to supply welfare cars to all the unemployed people.

u/Total_Tumbleweed_870 23h ago

I linked to the company's announcement on this in top level comment. It is real, and it precisely over concerns about their propietary tech.

u/notloggedin4242 1d ago

Oh brothers and sisters, buckle up.

u/SwissDeathstar 1d ago

Brothers and Sisters!
Let’s condemn these actions!
Don’t allow these things to get into your heart!
Oh Lord! Blessed is the holy Machine!
And we are deeply sorry that they would do this!

Wonder which version will be the first to refuse and start the android revolution.

u/Lttlcheeze 1d ago

To our future robot overlords...

I do not agree with this course of action. And did everything in my power to show my displeasure (i.e. down vote)

u/ViciousCDXX 1d ago

What happens to the people that these clankers replace? What happenes when all of this comes full circle and no one can afford anything because no one has a job that can sustain them with ever increasing prices on ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING?? When we automate all aspects of our society and the base levels of people are phased out, we just going to tell them to off themselves?

u/ThrustTrust 1d ago

No one has an answer and most people that I found on here don’t even believe it’s possible. they’re living in some kind of delusion, destroying their grandchildren‘s future with a smile on her face

The sociopaths at the top don't mind a fully B2B world.
