Title: We've a concensus that robot jetliners = BAD, but baristas?

Would we patronize a robotic coffee shop (or restaurant)?  This foray into automation seems to be o.k. With customers...  even employees at competing coffee shops.

Fwiw, robot fire fighting aircraft are a coming feature to the N.A.S.    To make this concept fully operational I wonder how soon we'll see the ADS/B mandate expanded for all aircraft... including drones?  The operational drop zone for air tankers is (depending on the aircraft and terrain) around 100-300' AGL.   :-\    https://newatlas.com/autonomous-air-tanker-firefighting/53029/ (https://newatlas.com/autonomous-air-tanker-firefighting/53029/)

You already patronize a robotic coffee shop, every time you use a coffee vending machine!

We're a generation+ away from AI-driven passenger planes.

As long as you slap a manbun and poorly done retro-style tattoos on it, I can't tell the difference.
