But it takes up a seat... the "driver's" seat is prime viewing real estate if you're not actually driving

Someone/something has to load & unload stretchers.

well, it has some sort of power to allow it to hover and move - maybe it can use that to work the pedals?

| FWIW, it's quite possible that this bot, unlike PX and others, genuinely is non-sentient. If Devilcorp can create sentient androids, it's kind of silly to think that it can't create automatons that are far more complex than real-world automatons without actually crossing the line to sentience. A driving robot is, at base, just an extrapolation of a GPS, and I think that most people will concur that GPSs aren't sentient. Most people. |

haven't you read those news stories about people following their gps's directions and driving into buildings or rivers or things? those things clearly _are_ both sentient and evil.
which means, of course, that devilcorp totally makes them.
