    There actually was no hit. The bus slammed on the breaks. The injuries are most likely minor bumps and bruises. This article is sensationalist as fuck. This was essentially someone cutting the bus off in traffic. If it wasn’t a robot, it wouldn’t have been newsworthy.

      It’s the equivalent of slamming on the brakes to avoid an animal. The dumb thing wandered into the road because it doesn’t know any better.

      The difference here is people care about animals… If this sort of thing becomes common place, people will just hit the robot then sue for damage to their vehicle, since dodging it puts the liability on you.

      …The fact that it WAS a fucking robot literally IS what makes it newsworthy, bro.
