San Francisco begins issuing permits for robots

Tired of being the unofficial testing ground for new technology and the hardware that goes with it, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors has passed legislation requiring businesses to get permits before trying out new high-tech ideas in public.

Norman Yee is head of San Francisco's new Office of Emerging Technology and his team will decide whether proposed products present a "net public good."

But, if his team catches your robot running around without a permit, you're in trouble.
