NY police reinstates robot dog for which it earlier faced backlash

New York Police Department (NYPD) is reinstating a robot dog for which it faced backlash from citizens about two years ago. NYC Mayor Eric Adams said Digidog would be used for "assessing hazardous situations" in the city. NYPD earlier had to cancel its reportedly $94,000 worth contract with Digidog maker Boston Dynamics after concerns over privacy and surveillance were raised.
