That was my first thoughts watching this video "Shit, these things are going to be on the battle field any day now".

I mean, I guess better a robot than a person.. but still.. pretty terrifying to think we are soon to have people hunting robots.

for the robots, maybe

Animal traffic is a lucrative and it seems as illegal as unstoppable. My bet is that if this robots will deploy in a signifiant number, the people soon will realize that can make a life if they trap, club and dismantle expensive robots for selling metal parts and any valuable cargo that they would carry. Will be also illegal but some will try anyways. Anything electric can be insta-fried with a higher voltage or, more slowly, with a cheap molotov cocktail. Not much different than hunting a bear or deer, maybe more profitable.
