Robot dogs sound futuristic; surviving inside a whale sounds like fiction. Kris Abel puts both impressions to the test, starting with the question a survival movie leaves hanging: could a person actually end up in there?
A car hanging upside down creates a different problem. The ground is waiting, and a spectacular recovery makes quite a video. But what has the demonstration demonstrated? Between the stunt and the sales pitch, one word is doing a lot of work.
Back at the condo complex, something with cameras is padding around outside. It’s strange enough before it starts speaking. The voice makes the encounter harder to dismiss, while raising a question more immediate than whether robots look impressive: what would it feel like to live with this patrol?
