Robots stole your piggy bank

More and more tasks humans used to do are being done by tobots.

The 2019 version of Child's Play horror movie is basically a smart home going wrong and ending with a talking doll version of Alexa killing people.

Digital malware can already kill people by screwing up with hospitals equipment. Badly coded self driving in cars has and is killing people while autopilot in planes has killed people because it lacks an easy way to disable it.

Do we have to worry about our smart homes ordering a hit on us?

Maybe that new smart seatbelt in our car might get a tad too tight?

Will our fitness tracker tattle our location to home burglars?

The future is here, and the robots are not only stealing our jobs but also killing us. Oh and stealing our data (and other things) from us too!
