    Did you see the comments? The video was posted by the company that owns the "Promobot". I saw one comment where you can see a rope to the left of the trees after the robot falls. Looks like a fake. LOL

    Maybe the promobot was suicidal after reaching a state of sentience and realizing it's masters were a bunch of lemmings. It saw them championing socialism while reaping the benefits of a capitalist system. It realized a life of servitude to these lemmings wasn't worth living.

    But I only saw the "rope" after the robot fell and the cars passed. I figured we should have been able to see it before and after the Tesla went by?

    Still funny as hell!!!
