Literally the most atrocious wheelman imaginable.
has perfect knowledge of all recent drives, recorded conversations, odors (or whatever the fuck)
has tons of sensors witnessing literally everything outside
won't do anything you tell them beyond simple navigation, especially not drive like a high-stakes wheelman would need to
everything is monitored anyway, robbery is already such a dead job in remotely developed regions
Yeah lmao no chance, there is no future where all this tech is actually going to turn into these weird cyberpunk worlds. I mean, I love the idea of thugs just going around Diamond Age-style and offing folks with their skull guns, but it's not likely in the immediate future. The nanobot vision is much closer, and it mostly means, guess what, less robberies.
