    I don’t think jobs this hazardous are generally done by plumbers. Sending in a robot instead of a human makes sense.

    Especially when the robot is better at finding faults before people’s homes collapse into a sinkhole.

      English is not my first language and I’m no expert in sewers maintenance so substitute whatever trade/job title instead of plumber.

      I’m not against this robot quite the opposite. But I’m curious about the reaction when technology ‘takes the jobs’ of working class people like in this case (or you know last couple centuries) being very different than when it takes the job of artists, journalists, writers…
