A robot crushed a man to death in South #Korea after the machine apparently failed to differentiate him from the boxes of produce it was handling, the Yonhap news agency reported on Wednesday.

Do you remember the ethical discussion about whether self-driving cars should hit a child or an elderly person when in doubt? I always thought the discussion was misguided because the sensors can't even separate a person from a box.
