Future George Zimmerman will pilot an Atlas robot. He will do it from the interior of an air conditioned trailer in the desert of Arizona wearing a Bulletproof Securities patch. Guided by instincts honed through years of screaming at his flat screen Panasonic as he watched hip hop on MTV, he will bring safety to your gated community, or cul de sac, or that hot spot down the street and around the corner where drunken hipsters get knuckled under by high thugs.
When your city calls for Martial Law they will bring in a truck load of Atlas’s. Put a coffee maker in that Arizona trailer and offer overtime. They will do recruiting drives at local high schools and Vo Techs because business is good and need keeps growing. If you pass a piss test and get your GED you can sit right next to GZ.
No messy court cases. Corporate immunity. Kill too many and they may transfer you across the yard, to the trailer that handles the robots in Iran and Afghanistan. The pay is less. The hours are screwy. Sometimes they shoot back.
The Atlas is stronger than future GZ. It runs faster. It is sure footed and confident. There will be no crushing its head against the concrete. Just a metallic voice and guaranteed compliance. No broken nose, faked or otherwise. No “George Porgie” jokes. Just cool, sleek anonymity.
Introducing the Atlas. The future of the Neighborhood Watch.
