One bot would edit a piece of information, then another bot would come along to undo the edit and it went on in a loop. In another car assembly line-related freak accident, a 22-year-old contractor in Germany was crushed to death in 2015 by a robot at the factory. The incident took place in 2021 in Houston, US. According to reports, the car missed a curve on the road and crashed into a tree. Back in 1979, a robot took the life of its first human victim. In 2016, Microsoft launched a chatbot Tay via Twitter that would speak to users in an informal manner and even use slang like the 14-24-year-olds would. Apparently, the robot mistook the child's finger for a chess piece and tried to move it aside. The incident is the first reported case of a person being killed by an autonomous vehicle. The boy is seen stuck with the robot for a few seconds before the adults around him try to pry his finger from the robot and pull him away. As the robot completes the task, the boy makes his move, but the robot grabs his finger in the middle of his move. His parents have contacted a prosecutor and informed them of the incident. What's worse, Uber reportedly did not have the necessary permits to be testing the vehicles on the roads of San Francisco. The video shows the robot arm removing a chess piece from the board and dropping it into a box.
