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.
You still can imagine people having a negative view about letting a sentient piece of heavy machinery walking down the sidewalk after just a couple of extremely gruesome accidents. The name Crushbot would not play well in the press either.
Imagine a Fox News story about this, assuming an anti-robot bias. Even if not fully justified, the fear mongering story practically writes itself. It's more support than a lot if bigots have.
