won't be coming to San Francisco, after all. Just days after voting to give the city’s Police Department the power to deploy potentially deadly robots as a “last resort option,” a city board of supervisors reversed course, temporarily halting the ordinance. The 11-member panel’s unanimous “no” vote, which follows an 8-3 preliminary vote on Nov. 29, will send the matter back to committee for further discussion.
Instead, the policy approved Tuesday would simply allow law enforcement to use robots to investigate potentially dangerous situations more closely, according to the Associated Press. The Tuesday vote follows monumental backlash over the preliminary approval, with several board members joining protesters outside City Hall on Monday.
