The man died Monday at the plant in Baunatal, about 100 kilometers (62 miles) north of Frankfurt, VW spokesman Heiko Hillwig said.

The 22-year-old was part of a team that was setting up the stationary robot when it grabbed and crushed him against a metal plate, Hillwig said.

He said initial conclusions indicate that human error was to blame, rather than a problem with the robot, which can be programmed to perform various tasks in the assembly process. He said it normally operates within a confined area at the plant, grabbing auto parts and manipulating them.

Another contractor was present when the incident occurred, but wasn't harmed, Hillwig said. He declined to give any more details about the case, citing an ongoing investigation

LOL

He said initial conclusions indicate that human error was to blame,

That's exactly what a robot disguised as a VW spokeperson would say.

This is obvious marketing for Terminator Genisys

German news agency dpa reported that prosecutors were considering whether to bring charges, and if so, against whom.

"Grabbing parts and manipulating them"

My god, Bender has actually come to kill all humans.

I would say "LOL VW"

But they own Lamborghini

Why would they posses a metal plate?


The simple answer is that this robot was going to be flayed alive and served on said plate in the following banquet.

It acted out of self defense.

It's always the ones you least expect.

Skynet is coming...

When in doubt plug it out.

So first we have google's AI being flat out racist, now we have robots killing the meatbags...

The day of the Omnissiah's arrival grows near ;-;
Repent or die sinners, the machines will crush all the fleshsacks into a delicious nutritious paste to feed to the menials <_<
