The team behind hitchBot, the talking, tweeting, hitchhiking robot that tries to traverse continents on the kindness of strangers, had always thought of their project as a social experiment. After all the bad press and post-apocalyptic stories that questioned whether humans could ever trust robots, they wanted to pose the opposite problem: Can robots trust humans?This weekend they got their answer. Robots can’t rely on us. Or at least, not Philadelphians.The robot successfully hitchhiked across Germany, the Netherlands and Canada without incident before being trashed in Philadelphia.http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/08/03/hitchhiking-robots-cross-country-journey-comes-to-tragic-end-in-philadelphia/
I think what happened here, after the protests for $15/hr minimum, companies like McD's were increasing their use of robots so naturally democrats decided to take out their anger on a robot.
