00:00 I do think there is a safety concern,
00:04 especially with humanoid robots, because at least the car
00:07 can't chase you into this building very easily,
00:11 or chase you off a tree.
00:14 You can run up a flight of stairs
00:15 and get away from a Tesla.
00:16 [LAUGHTER]
00:19 I think there's a Stephen King movie about that,
00:23 if your car gets possessed.
00:26 But if you have a humanoid robot,
00:28 it can basically chase you anywhere.
00:30 So I think we should have some kind of hardwired, local cut
00:36 off that you can't update from the internet.
00:39 So anything that can be software updated from the internet,
00:42 obviously can be overridden.
00:43 But if you have a local sort of off switch,
00:47 where you perhaps say a keyword or something,
00:49 and then that puts the robot into a safe state,
00:53 some kind of localized safe state ability, an off switch,
01:01 where you don't have to get too close to the robot.
