The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is expected to vote on a new rule today that would authorize the city’s police department to kill people with robots.

The policy proposal, which was approved by the Board of Supervisors Rule Committee last week, explicitly authorizes the police department’s robots to be used “as a deadly force option when risk of loss of life to members of the public or officers is imminent and outweighs any other force option available to SFPD,” the same standards that apply to when human officers kill people.
