Your political future is tiny drones assassinating any target of opportunity as a form of political protest, because autonomous robots are used for "crowd control" (translation: murder or nonlethal dispersal of civilian protesters).
Yay!

Cowards in suits & uniforms are always going to look for more ways to avoid dealing with actual people and their real-world problems.
Robots seem like a great idea for handling this "problem", until a bird-sized robot flies a packaged explosive into your family member's face.

It's ironic that the very same technology that will be used to strip away freedoms is also going to democratize political assassinations further.
A really bizarre state of play.
