So if I don't like your face at the corner, I'd order a drone equipped with a taser as a backup? An AI-controlled drone that listens to my voice?

Now what if you also order one? Did you make sure to get the premium subscription which includes DAD Drone Area Denial to keep other drones out? Because I did...

it is just like today - i may have a knife and you have a gun, only those robotic "knife" and the "gun" will be "smart", more powerful than a knife and probably than a gun, at least the robot would shoot much better than an average person, and come with subscription fee.

Also, while people in many places can't get a license to carry various weapons, a large cash flush corporation can push through the regulations Uber-style and get the regulations to allow their robots to carry and use those weapons.
