Dallas Police Believed to Be First to Use Robot Lethally

"“Police are permitted to use deadly force to protect themselves or others, but what does it mean...when the police may be far away?” said Elizabeth Joh, a criminal law professor at the University of California Davis. “Do we want lethally armed police robots to become an ordinary part of policing? Do we want such robots to have artificial intelligence? The Dallas incident shows that these aren’t just fanciful hypotheticals.”"
