We thought the rider fell off or something and it was going to crash. Then it turned and kept mowing. Park Roomba!

    I think I would have a genuinely hard time not messing with this or trying to ride it. Both which are objectively terrible ideas nonetheless it feels really tempting.

      Seeing this picture, my first instinct was to tell op to stand in front of it. Worst that happens is an easy paycheck.

      Run and grab a package of hotdogs and we can finally get the answer to an age old question.

      Put a pile of sticks halfway between a mowed area and an area that hasn’t been cut.

      Draw a line right in the middle of the camera lense? If that doesn’t do anything then a stick person?

        I would say worse that happens is a lawn mowing robot runs over me and I end up in the ICU.

          And then you have every right to sue the beejezus outta whoever unleashed a robot into public that has super fast spinning knives but no obstacle avoidance programming.

        Or just don’t vandalise government property which is there to make life better.

          I mean to be fair these are more intrusive thought type things. I definitely probably would never actually do anything like that…
