this is the first cyberpunk future thing i've seen that was just sort of charming instead of horrifying

Leave the drug dog robo alone you pigs 
I was gonna say it would be Uber expensive to lose a drug dog. But if you're doing good business you could get something like that for a price on the order of $1600+the price of whatever you're delivering. Call it a $2k loss for the cost of doing business?
Trying to do drug prohibition is a losing game anyway. This would be the field work equivalent of auditing paperwork. Your boss DGAF, the drug dealer DGAF, the client DGAF, and the public probably likes looking at you less than they like seeing the drug dog run around. Grim.
Cute lil drug courier
I was surprised the story didn't end with, "The robot went into defense mode and a grenade launcher rotated out from the underside of its body and started firing".
The year is 2031 and half your unit just got taken out by drones and just now the drug robot arrived. You’re not sure if it’s funding your guys or the enemy but fuck it.
Using a bunch of these to drive down property rates by convincing everyone the ultimate cyberdruglord lives there but then that guy kitted out for 40-50 feral hogs is there and it’s the ultimate libertarian showdown between a gun fudd and a fleet of amoral machines serving the market.
anybody who expected AI slop fascism with design flaw maximizing electric trucks instead of this may be incredibly prescient, but also doesn't know shit about cyberpunk
Why not use a RC car or pigeons? That has been available for decades, and is a lot cheaper.

Dude what if it was that black mirror episode metalhead but it pothead?
