When can we expect Executives with robot security? (reddthat.com)

This is a collection of fragmented thoughts brought on by recent events during a long drive. It’s not meant to be “doom and gloom” serious…

Is it correct to expect an uptick in private security firms for executive protection?

Is it correct to assume that some of the ultra rich have their own “private military/force”?

How long until we see executives with some form of robotic security accompanying them?

I can’t tell if we’d expect to see them used in a military capacity first or if the military has too meet redundancy needs first – making it more likely for private ownership first.

I know we’ve seen examples of robodogs on a golf course - but when might an executive be strolling the streets with some form of automated protection?

What might be more realistic near term, or a decade into the future? Hiring soldiers/private-security would still make the most sense?

China has backdoored most of our communications infrastructure. Wouldn't take very long for someone to get in and off another CEO. So, if they're smart, security will always be humans.
