- Require two independent kill switches, one long range, one close range (say 5m).

- Allow everyone to have close range kill switches, which use a universal open standard protocol that works on every robot (alas pepper spray for robots).

Agreed! Empowering people to have some power over robots through regulation, without being at the mercy of a single company, seems very important. Higher level behavior could involve a standardized safety language to command a robot to act slower or stop.
