​Yeah, safer at the olympics, but how about on crowded streets, where they
will eventually be, I predict?  Will the future include robo guide robots
(i.e. not necessarily in the shape of dogs)?  I think that has to occur -
the robots will be so much smarter, carry the person's info, street maps,
etc.  In an accident the robot calls the police, 911, carries the person
out of danger - thousands of uses, eh?
