We have protectrons in malls now?!
This'll last until somebody with a mask spray paints the cameras.
even just a blindfold or a bedsheet over the cameras could do the job
Imagine it had guns and tasers its gonna end horribly
He has a license plate reader, he has facial recognition, he can read IP addresses from your cell phone or watch,”
Uhhhh.... How is it reading the ip addresses of people's phones?
Someone made a mistake here. It's not getting your IP address. An IP address is assigned by the gateway when you're connected to an access point. An IP address is not an identity. They are always changing and can be shared. This has already been tested and upheld in court.
It's actually collecting your MAC address. Which is exchanged when your phone or tablet scan nearby WiFi points or Bluetooth devices. However, this can already be defeated. By default iOS and Android both have the option to randomise the MAC address in intervals. Making it extremely difficult to prove anything. This feature exists because the devices real MAC address never changes. It is unique. Alternatively, users can disable WiFi and Bluetooth scanning entirely. However, your device no longer participates in the Find My Devices program by Apple and Google, location does take longer to acquire in some scenarios, and accuracy may take longer to triangulate.
Counter-argument, this is all correct, but when the application is against shopping mall criminals it will work well enough. Not talking masterminds here
I imagine it MITM's the wifi? Obviously wouldn't work with cellular but thats the only this claim can ve even remotely true.
That being said they could do some shit with malicious bluetooth/NFC behaviour
Why would it need to MITM the WiFi? The store runs and operates the wifi
Well its probably not a MITM if its just an official access point

It probably just has a WiFi repeater in it
It must be for wifi that they operate.
I bet it was something like the hardware id instead but she misspoke

Wasn't this the exact plot of Revolution of the Daleks?
I knew I was not the only one
did the engineers install red leds in the eyes? if yes we might have a problem
It could only be a joke. It is? Oh shit...
One of these hit my car. It was out patrolling randomly in a parking lot and I pulled up to get a better look at it. I stopped like 6 ft in front of it but it just kept on coming and ran into my fucking car.

First of all if you're too scared to go into a store because you think your car is going to be robbed You're probably too scared to live in public. However from the description it sounds like this thing's just a tall camera? It can't do anything except monitor? So how is this any better than those towers with cameras on them?
Psychology. Ever see ring doorbell footage where the owner says "drop the package" and people do? Its not like the owner could do anything, but for some reason it makes people behave differently.

If I give the robot a wegie and put a piece of dirty underwear in its head, will it shoot me?
It's in America so yes.
My point is that this thing is a dumb robot tha doesn't have a weapon. So its actually a step up from racist mall cops shooting people because they're brown.
