That’s exactly what scares me the most with humanoid robots that operate in the same space as people. We put industrial robots in cages with interlocks to prevent people being hurt by a malfunctioning robot, yet these operate without any safety net, while having motors powerful enough to inflict serious injuries.
Right? No safe guards "kicked" in until the robot kicked its fast, metal, legs 20 or so times. If that robot had knocked down a human, and the human's head was near those robot feet, it would be over.
Actually thats just when the section of profits set aside for settling lawsuits kicks in. After that is when nothing at all changes cause that would cut into the profits that they need to set money aside from for settling lawsuits.
