In what can only be described as a major embarrassment for the NYPD, a robot dog deployed to help search for people in the rubble of a garage collapse yesterday failed spectacularly, collapsing after just 10 feet of movement. The robot dog, which was developed by Boston Dynamics and cost the NYPD millions of dollars, was supposed to be a cutting-edge tool for first responders. However, this latest incident raises serious questions about the effectiveness and value of such technology. Critics have argued that the money would have been better spent on training and supporting human first responders. As the investigation into the garage collapse continues, it's clear that the robot dog is not quite ready for prime time.
