The Truth About Killer Robots

[2] The documentary investigates the 2015 killing by a robot of an assembly line manager in a Volkswagen factory in Germany, a driverless Tesla car that hit a white truck ahead of it, and the use of drones by the police in the USA (especially in Dallas) to drop bombs on snipers and suspects.

[3] The film uses Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics", first proposed by him in his 1942 short story Runaround, and describes how human beings have in recent years ignored them.

The film follows these with interviews with experts in the field, footage of real robots being used for bomb disposal, and "smart guns" that are able to shoot people automatically based on facial recognition.

The film questions the morality of these uses and highlights the inadequacy of the current legal structure to address these issues.

[4] The Hollywood Reporter found the film interesting, but was critical of the fact that it does not address the widespread use of drones in war torn areas to kill civilians and suspects.
