Meh. If I left an automation roaming the streets and it ate someone’s kid I would get in trouble.

If google’s automations are broken and they harm the world then they need to be responsible and fix them or replace them with people.

Uber killed Elaine Herzberg and didn't get in trouble.
But automating something that might eat a kid, versus inadvertently blocking an app access very very different. This why no one is tackling a nanny bot --- repercussions.

Agreed on the last part.

Ok maybe an automation that blocked a parking lot is a better analogy.
