Cross-posted from GD:
Tow truck driver shoots, kills suspect trying to rob him. Fox News link, video autoplays. Detroit Police say an armed robber targeted a tow truck driver, not knowing that tow truck driver had a CPL and was ready to fight back. It happened in the 15400 block of Young Street, in the area of Outer Drive and Kelly, around 9:30a.m. on Monday. Detroit police say they responded to an armed robbery. They found one person shot. Investigators say that person was taken to the hospital, where he later died. He allegedly was robbing the tow truck driver, who shot him. “I heard multiple gunshots, around six to eight,” said one neighbor who did not want to share his name. Detroit Police are not confirming the identity of the armed robber, but sources say he has ties to the area. The neighbor did not want any conflict with them as they grieve. “You have to get these crooks off the street on way or another,” he said. Some towing company owners tell WXYZ this crime reveals a problem. Some insurance companies will not cover the liability that comes with tow truck drivers carrying a gun. As a result, some towing companies have policies against carrying a weapon. |

I don't buy it. You can't make them too heavy or they won't work. You can't make them too expensive or they won't be affordable.
Besides I would just CoC employees at the plant building them and/or CoC the plant. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RickFinsta: I don't buy it. You can't make them too heavy or they won't work. You can't make them too expensive or they won't be affordable. Yeah, some people don't understand the problems of applying armor to something that wasn't designed for it from the start. Take a high mobility robot, then add weight in the form of armor. Where do you stop adding armor? The processor? The battery? The actuators/servos? The sensors? Not only does the cost quickly go up, but the mobility (one of the things the manufacturer pushes as a strong selling point) quickly goes down. Eventually, you can get to the point that it's no more impressive (mobility-wise) than a dalek. And that's not even getting into issues such as armoring it against small arms calibers vs armoring it against multiple hits from small arms calibers. |

Well, that's a topic that can apparently lead a person down quite a rabbit hole. I found a 2014 article indicating that Mercedes had upped their armor that is available on a 'made to order' basis for the S600, to a rating that is claimed to be able to take multiple hits from 7.62NATO (floorpan is supposedly armored more heavily, to provide some protection from explosives). I didn't see any details on how much weight it adds, but the 'made to order' category is likely to make that data difficult to filter out from the other equipment that is added to the car. From Boston Dynamics' website, their robot dog is around 70 pounds (I think that is before adding any options). An armored version (capable of taking multiple rifle hits) would probably result in an increase in weight that would be rather substantial compared to its relatively low base weight, and there's not a lot of it that you could argue that there is no need to armor (once a decision is made to armor it). |

The other thing with those dogs is while they have autonomy they also ostensibly have wireless comms. Wireless comms means you can fuck with it that way, too, and without having to be anywhere near the AO. You could do it from local resources (including things like wireless routers in the area). It also gives you a good trigger for other defenses to go live that don't even require you to know how to read/intercept/replace/send/whatever commands, just recognize the signal is in the area.
Well, I couldn't do it per se, but I understand the vulnerability is there. I'm also dreaming up small anti-robotics EFP devices. Something that size you'd be able to foil-line the bottoms of wine bottles and with a few inches standoff punch right through any armor they are capable of hanging on that small chassis. Dammit now I wanna fight the robot war. |

Unfortunately, the damage was already done. Don’t get me started on the bicycle bros in Chicago. I think their goal is to eliminate all cars and trucks. Last week when is was sub zero, they were crying on twitter that their bike lanes were not cleared. Pathetic. Mayor 'bikelanes and sidewalks everywhere' was Nashville's first female mayor and was originally from California. She had previously been on the city council and seemed to think the ideal Nashville would be a city much more like California cities. Bike lanes (with a 3 foot wide buffer zone between them and normal traffic lanes) were added to some of the more heavily used streets in Nashville, contributing to the traffic congestion by taking away space that cars could have used. Didn't matter how little bike traffic there was on those streets - 'if we build it (bike lanes), they (cyclists) will come'. A requirement was added to the process of getting a building permit. If there was no sidewalk along the road frontage of the property, the construction plan must include putting in a sidewalk (at the expense of the property owner, not the city). Didn't matter if it was construction of a new commercial property, construction of a new house, or just adding a shed that happens to be larger than 10 by 10 to the backyard of an existing house. Also didn't matter if there were no other sidewalks within a mile of the property in question. If you want a building permit, not having an existing sidewalk is going to be an expense that you will have to include in your budget. She resigned as part of a plea deal, after it became known that she was cheating on her husband with the cop that was assigned to be her bodyguard (which wasn't a criminal issue), and the city was getting billed for the romantic getaways they had along with paying the cop to go on those getaways with her (which was a criminal issue). |
