At some point it will become necessary to introduce a “driver’s licence” requirement to be allowed to operate robots in public areas. Too many people will do too many stupid things with them otherwise.
Right now it seems like a bit of a wild west situation where people just do what they want until the legislation catches up.

Aren’t these robots “autonomous”?
Autonomous or semi-autonomous, it still has a handler. Someone who is responsible for deploying it and can be held liable.
Bottom line: the public use of any piece of machinery that is heavy enough to cause property damage and injuries has to be regulated.
