That is a dated Knight Rider reference, for those who didn’t watch trashy but awesome TV in the 1980s. These things are operating in some parking lots in Philadelphia. Some people predict Philadelphians will destroy them in short order. But they thing is, they are basically just a camera on wheels. So if you destroy it, you are creating evidence of yourself destroying, which the owner of this thing will be motivated to use against you in court. Some people say this is dystopian, but I don’t see a huge difference between this and a plain old security camera.

I wouldn’t mind getting one to collect video evidence of whoever it is leaving dog poop on my block. And no, whoever you are, bagging it before you drop it on the ground doesn’t really excuse you. Somebody still has to pick up your feces, and if that plastic bag gets washed into a storm drain and eventually out to the ocean, the crap will biodegrade in a few hours (possibly suffocating a few nearby fish in the process) but the plastic bag will be there in 1,000 years.
