Not yet on the streets of London (but can Sadiq be far behind?) your friendly robocop is now operational in Thailand, and, in perhaps not so friendly a form, in China.
But can it really replace the traditional policeman on the beat, a phenomenon now vanishingly rare in the UK?
Would it really be able to gather information on the activities of the local "usual suspects", and be alert to note the tell-tale signs of possible miscreant activity?
And will the AI that powers he/she/it ever learn to enunciate the time-honoured " 'ello 'ello 'ello, what's going on 'ere?" that would truly make us all feel safe?
