    This happened not too far from my house. I passed it after the fire was out and not much of that car was left. Still has a giant burn mark on the road where it was sitting.

    There are various tests that can be used to determine if the robot is sentient, self-aware, etc. We are not quite there yet.

    Turns out they have footage of the robot running outside. Can you imagine working next to this company in Boston?

    ^My snowblower has two 40V lithium ion battery packs in 80V config. The robot might be running something similar. Remember their original "Big Dog" had a chainsaw engine.

    I think the JL's fender flares are made of the same flexible plastic material as our mud flaps.
