I saw an article where they experimented with the AIs that steer these things: it's basically enough to hold a sign that tells it what to do

So it is able to follow directions from traffic signs when it sees them...IDK, seems more intelligent than a significant portion of human drivers out there /s

There are not really any similarities to the environment and use case of autonomous cars driving in open public roads, at high speeds, in a several thousand pound heavy vehicle, with thousands of other people acting in random unpredictable ways, and a 50 pound snow blower driving at walking pace in your own private closed driveway with basically no one in the area of operation.

There's like a 1" gap in the grate and at least 3-4" from there to any moving parts. Yes, a toddler can stick their arms in there, but if that happens it will be predominantly due to horrible parenting.

It obviously isn't 100% hazard free, it's a motorized power tool after all, but it does seem to have proper mitigations in place to reduce risk of injury to a reasonable level.

A grate that lets wet snow in is also going to be big enough to let rocks and other debris in.

But not kids and pets at leaat

If you go the the manufacturers website it mentions several safety systems; radar, camera and a physical bumper and grate to keep things from getting into the machine

When I try to point it at my server, I'm prompted with a page saying it's only possible in the paid tier

Apparently only for appletv, for iOS there are no issues.
