Robots with a sense of self-preservation. I think I saw a horror movie with this premise. To avoid its own destruction the robot realized its survival depended on killing all the humans!

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”

From a time when movie scripts could be fine poetry. Wonderful.

Imagine a car that considered your planned commute and the health of its engine and pulled itself over every 10 minutes to cool off. That would be seriously annoying. I imagine sales of such a car would be quite low.

Self-preservation will be a requirement for war robots, and these will be among the scary robots.

it’d probably get junked pretty quickly, but the fight between the car and the wrecking yard robot would be epic!

From one who maintained industrial robots.
The problem with the example at the end is programming the robot to tell WHY it is doing that.

I’m a Blade Runner.
I “retire” robots.
Blew the crap out of one of those runaway robot vacuum cleaners today.
It tried telling me some story about a Tannenbaum Gate or something, so I put about a dozens rounds into it.
Little brushes flying everywhere.
