Op zeker dat de politie in de VS deze auto in gebruik zal nemen en niet voor de gebieden waar veel gekleurden wonen, of ze moeten deze robot precies zo instrueren als de 'gewone agenten.......' Zo instrueren dat deze robot gekleurden als potentiële misdadigers zal zien, dus etnisch zal profileren en als het even kan gekleurden doodschieten, ofwel standrechtelijk executeren en dat alleen vanwege hun huidskleur......
Ford heeft de eerste stap gemaakt naar een geautomatiseerde nieuwe wereld robotorde, waarmee de gevaarlijk stap is gezet naar andere zelflerende robots, lopende robots voor politie en leger, die al helemaal niet zullen twijfelen of ze iemand wel dan niet zullen vermoorden..... Overigens is men ook al bezig met het ontwerpen van een drone die zelfstandig beslist of doelwitten uitgeschakeld 'moeten worden...' (let wel: dat is eigenlijk een zware misdaad!) De controle op die standrechtelijke executies, onder Obama tot vol wasdom gekomen, stelde al niets voor, zoals zojuist gezegd: met robots zal dit moorden nog grotere vormen aannemen, waar onderzoek zelfs wel eens onmogelijk gemaakt kan worden............ Immers wie moet je de schuld nog geven na een schietincident, bijvoorbeeld in een Midden-Oosten gebied, de fabrikant??? (ach, als men nu een onderzoek instelt naar een moordpartij in bijvoorbeeld Irak, komen de VS daders er voor 99% vanaf met een vrijspraak......)
De VS is in feite al een politiestaat, met dergelijke robots kan zo'n dictatuur pas echt vervolmaakt worden....... Op weg naar een wereld die zelfs George Orwell niet kon voorzien.......... (al weet ik zeker dat meerdere sciencefiction schrijvers hier wel over hebben verhaald, ben helaas al mijn scifi boeken kwijtgeraakt door een kwaadaardig persoon in mijn verleden......
Patent Filed for Self-Driving Police Car That Can Take Over Your Vehicle. Let That Sink In

(ANTIMEDIA) —
Millions
of jobs are at risk of being outsourced to
automated artificial intelligence or robotic applications in the next
decade. These jobs range from baristas and supermarket
clerks to lawyers and hedge
fund managers.
Now, a new patent application by automaker Ford suggests law
enforcement agents, too, could soon be replaced by artificially
intelligent autonomous police cars equipped with state of the art
cameras, wireless communication sensors, and surveillance technology.
The
automated cop car would be designed to seek out especially crafty
hiding places, detect driving infractions, wirelessly
interface with
potentially (automated) lawbreaking vehicles, and even remotely issue
citations. According to Techcrunch,
Ford’s patent filing suggests that the new machine learning
algorithm would not only be capable of determining whether the
infraction constitutes a ticket or a warning but would also be able
to manually take control of the vehicle if necessary, although it is
not entirely clear what the patent envisions in the way of manual
takeovers. The AI black-and-white would also have instantaneous
access to any databases necessary to adjudicate suspects and
offenders.
“While autonomous
vehicles can
and will be programmed to obey traffic laws,” the
patent filing states, “a
human driver can override that programming to control and operate the
vehicle at any time. When a vehicle is under the control of a human
driver there is a possibility of violation of traffic laws. Thus,
there will still be a need to police traffic.”
“In
practice, Ford’s car would establish a direct wireless connection
with a speeding car and then send a message to its dashboard
indicating that it’s going too fast and
has been spotted. The vehicle would
then reply to Ford’s police car informing it of if it was in
autonomous mode or being driven by a human.”
A
ticket may then be issued to the license of the human driver.
Some
tech and science blogs took a glass half full approach to the
news, pointing
out that
automating routine police tasks, such as speeding tickets, may free
up human police officers to focus more of their attention on law
enforcement tasks that are not so easily interpreted by an algorithm.
The overriding sentiment, however, seems to be one of caution, as
technologists imagine a world where humans are policed by
artificially intelligent automated law enforcers.
Unsurprisingly,
Ford Global Technologies CEO Jim Hackett is optimistic about what he
describes as a game-changing technology that will transform cities
and communities for the better. During a speech at
a Las Vegas conference last month, he pontificated about the utopian
future humans can expect in the ‘city of tomorrow’:
“The
car and the system will be talking to each other. And changing one
piece of the system necessarily changes the whole.
“A
car obviously is going to learn to drive itself, but the city
transportations grid will mutate around what the cars need.
“What
we want is the depiction of the city of tomorrow that demonstrates
the benefits of introducing these smart vehicles in a smart world for
civic life.
“It’s
not about the city getting smarter, but about humans having a better
day.”
Stephen
Edelstein, a writer for The
Drive,
however, voiced more concern regarding the ethics of
automated law enforcement. “The
potential pitfalls of machines conducting police work
have us feeling especially skeptical about this one.”
While
Ford’s patent doesn’t ensure the technology will come to pass, it
seems exceedingly likely that the country’s law enforcement
agencies and military will
soon be embracing the most cutting-edge technologies, which begs the
question:
Do
AI police cars make you more or less concerned about the future? Let
