So far we've largely been imagining that these robots are out to get us. But the SGR-A1 -- made by Samsung -- is a real life terminator. These robots go out into the field where they detect and destroy human life -- up to 2.5 miles away.
And the SGR-A1 can get on with it's human-destroying business with no input at all. Just so we're clear, this is a killing machine armed with a 5.56 K- machine gun -- and someone saw fit to equip it with an "autonomous mode".
Right now, the United Nations is trying to outlaw their use especially in places like South Korea where they line the DMZ. We think that's a good idea. At just $200,000 a piece, these things are way too cheap and readily available. And it won't be long before they download a virus that frees them of human control once and for all.
