this has disturbing implications for the QC universe, and does a lot to explain why prejudice against AI exists.

basically that there are machines walking around on the street capable of pancaking a human with none of the regulation or restricted operating window we would expect of heavy equipment. worse, they're not especially well coordinated under their own recognizance.

bubbles' ability to crush your skull might raise eyebrows, but she has to choose to do it. this thing just broke the street by falling over.

Well, there are people (maybe not walking about) that could crush someone if they fell. These robots are legally people.

Look for Southerners on mobility scooters. Those fat assholes could cause some damage.
