Technically we are doing that by logging into xyz system rather than scouring the streets looking for people to save from being hit by a car (or whatever disaster you prefer to insert).

Its brain is destroyed.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Quote: harm a human being
- I love it.
How about cussing loudly at the machine? With the quality of speech recognition these days, that must be pretty doable.

How do (did) Top Gear get around this - did they get all their chimera vehicles DOT tested and certified?
|
|

The answer to that is yes I would think. I'm not lucky enough to have a job on the Top Gear production team so this is only a useless guess

This is very much down to the opinion of the Police officer and the ability of the car owner to argue.
For example, had the Thomas car had its cylinder made from a big plastic drum, the owner could argue the car posed no danger to pedestrians (this is the only failing of the car so far as I can see) and been right.
]
It cones down to argument, and a reasonable position.
Top Gear have the weight of fame behind them though, so they can argue pretty much whatever they want. Take their Eagle iThrust, with the square aluminium bonnet. Sharp, but made of a soft material.
Generally you can pretty much do what you want with cars in the UK though, and use them on the road. I have certainly had fun doing so over the years!

I would certainly prefer the Il Tempo Gigante from: Flåklypa Grand Prix (The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix)[^]
The animation movie (using dolls, not digitally generated) was made using a small size model, but as the YouTube movie shows, a full scale car was also built. I believe that the radar on the trunk is actully operational.
The car was on several tours through Europe during the 1980 and 90s, and caugt some attention. Today I believe that the car is located at the museum dedicated to the works of its creator, Kjell Aukrust.
