NYPD pulls the plug on its Times Square subway police robot (RoboCop Fail)
NYPD has pulled its robot security cops from the Times Square subway station The end of the AI security system comes just months after Mayor Eric Adams unveiled the robots and described them as 'part of the fabric' of the future It's unclear whether the AI program was considered a success, but New Yorkers are glad that the robots are out NYPD's security robot has been pulled from its Times Square subway station post just months after Eric Adams described it as 'part of the fabric' of the future.
New York Police Department unveiled its fleet of 'Big Brother' robocops that would patrol the city's streets and subways in April.

There is so much irony to be found in progressive failures.
A mixed pleasure to see the most recent proof of the idiocy of the liberal mindset.

Rumor is the Police Robot arrested a crooked Cop for Bribing the Mayor.

Maybe the homeless peed on it.
Stupid annoying person.
Yes. Yes he is.
I didn’t catch specifically why it was pulled. One activist on the video complained it was illegal surveillance. My guess is that it was useless in preventing crime.
It needed a flame thrower. Melt them down.
looks like it’s a cousin to the robot floor cleaners Sam’s Club uses in their stores ... they don’t work all that well, either ...
You sure he wasn’t scraped for parts?
