"as it was operating in the public realm without a permit, and threatened with a $1,000-a-day (£745) fine."
that's the real reason it was pulled from the street-in addition to the horrible optics.
Jody, i'll take your bait-and Robert L thank you for pointing out his false equivalences-here in SF we treat unauthorized immigrants and homeless people with the same amount of respect-we are not trying to get rid of the homeless but get them the f*#k off the street-it's heartless to think that living their is the best option. We spend a lot of money for some, albeit some little, success getting people off the streets and into supportive housing. We also like being a sanctuary city-our city was built on the blood sweat and labor of all kinds of immigrants... if you never come here and stay in your little OC bubble we'll both be happier.

This business with the robotic cops is going to get funnier and funnier . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and then, suddenly, it's not going to be funny anymore.

Robocops that are supposed to be protecting pets & are now used to work street people in San Francisco?
Schist!
That's something else that I won't lose sleep over tonight, since Judge Roy Moore lost to a Democrat last night.
Seriously.

Jim B,
You said " was used against them "
where was the report of the Knight bots having electrocution abilities in the SPCA story?

David,
Sorry to burst your self-congratulatory libtard bubble, but many California cities (including SF?) are mitigating their homelessness problems by providing their charges one-way bus tickets to cities like Seattle. Well done.
BTW, it would be nice if you cared as much about citizens like Kate Steinle as you do illegals.

It's a miracle these robots can roam the steeets for five minutes without. Becoming a barbecue or fountain ornament. It's kinda insane . What the hell???
... but thank god the pets are protected.!
I spend one month a year living in the Mission. Hate the f*#king place. I don't know what's worse- the filthy streets and the pile of homeless you have to step over exiting the million dollar house every morning or the self rightious rich people passing every law conceivable to remove them from their sight. The dot-commer's evidently have a lot of time to think about how to improve the views while circling for an hour looking for parking. They have the option to move. ... the homeless generally do not.
(As a side note: the friend I stay with is prop 13'd in and could never afford to move. )
Not sure how this became an immigration discussion. I'm guessing a huge percentage of homeless are US citizens . From what I've observed personally- a large number are mentally compromised. I get stalked by scitzophrenics with some regularity. Thank you Ronald Regan.

I've been telling people for over year that it will be every good citizen's duty to smash, burn, destroy or otherwise permanently disable any self-driving car that appears on a public road. Those robotic abominations can't be trusted to not hurt people. The corporations developing them are far outrunning their ability to keep ahead of the myriad problems they would pose to the public. Malicious hackers regularly break into the most secure computer systems in the country, but the Robo-Car companies want to hook these multi-ton automatons all together via the internet, and then turn them loose at 100 mph on the nation's freeways.
Greed and ego are fueling the race to recklessly unleash immature and dangerous technologies that have a great potential for mass human calamity. Robotic cops are just the tip of a looming technological iceberg that the USA Titanic is steaming towards.
But, there was one man who taught us to fight, to storm the wire of the camps, to smash those metal motherf*#kers into junk. He turned it around. He brought us back from the brink. His name was Conner. Tom Conner. Your son, Sarah. Your unborn son.
EDIT
Yeah, I thought Dune was very over-rated, with low payoff for such a long and difficult read. Even David Lynch couldn't make it work.

Forget about safety, there are issues with liberty. I’ll never sit in an autonomous vehicle. Unless it’s taking me to my funeral.
Here in the people’s republic of Wa, they want to implement “pay by mile” highway taxes and are testing on board GPS units as a way to accomplish this. It will tell government how many miles you dive—and, oh yea, where you drive, when you drive, how fast you drive, whether your driving habits are “socially responsible” and excessive. Variable per-mile fees for peak, rush hours, downtown, etc. I’m telling you, folks aren’t gonna stand for this sh#t. (Except millennials. They’ll pretty much do anything govt says.)

Right back at you, pal. That poor girl was murdered by an illegal alien while she was out enjoying a day with her family--because you and your fellow SF Democrats care more about your ideology than your citizens.
Come to think of it, liberals are a lot like robots.

^^^^^^^^^^^
So are Republicans. They all fell into lockstep with the lie that there was a long tradition of a President not nominating a Supreme Court justice in the last year of his term in office (which never happened in the previous 152 years), and they fell all over each other in supporting Roy Moore in his Senate campaign.
Most people are "robots" to a certain degree.

Hey Lituya, at least here in SF that's not true. You got any evidence of it elsewhere? And who says i don't care about Ms Steinle-no one should die as the result of an unsecured firearm.

Well now, that might be true but there's a lot of stupid piled into BOTH shallow ends of the pool.
My favorite 1984esque devices are these Amazon/Google/NSA listening pods idiots install all over their houses. And they PAY for them!

Hate the f*#king place. I don't know what's worse- the filthy streets and the pile of homeless you have to step over...... Yep. My wife and I did a long weekend in SF last year; I hadn't been down there for a long time and she never had; had good memories & some friends there. We got off the BART downtown and walked to our hotel and were disgusted with the filth and stunned by the homeless hordes. She felt threatened; I vowed never to go back.
Someone made a comment about Seattle's homeless problem; you can see the camps from the freeways. I left Seattle in 2005 after living most of my life there; there are now just too many people. I hate even driving over to use the airport the traffic is so bad. Used to be a great city BITD. Now? Sucks.

^^^^^ Yup to all of it. I go to Oakland regularly to visit my aunt but
never go to SF. Spent 16 years in Seattle and go to visit the rels and
friends a lot but hate going into Seattle. But it beats SF by a mile.
