Perhaps the Mayors of NYC and SFO and the makers of self-driving cars, believe that robocops could be programmed to send them only appreciation letters, that is why they are replacing the police force with robocops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In April 2023, NYC Mayor Adams unveiled new 400-lb robo-cops, intended to revamp NYPD&#8217;s police force.
