    I was assured last week that things like this are fine and we should be responsible adults by settling for "good enough" when it comes to self-driving cars.

    I'm cool with letting human beings stay in charge of operating motor vehicles.

    And so it starts… modern robot machinery wiping out all humans? And for now they make it look like random accidents?

    Sci-fi aside: We probably will see a slow but very steady increase of such events in the coming years with more unnecessary automation applied everywhere.

        Amazon had a robot incident, Google, probably others too.
