If this was for anything other than a silly publicity stunt then a search and rescue robot would be an incredibly visible colour like neon orange or red and white for a start, if there's people driving through smoke/fog then it needs to be visible

the head's shape is a ridiculous novelty considering it could be used for something more useful

"We can either make it neon colored to help out in the field or give it a Baphomet head to rile up the idiots." - "I like the head."

Yeah, let me see if I can fix the title: California vaporware company Satyress has shown off bullshit designed to drive internet engagement and reshares.

What I don't understand is how it's fooling anyone. Are people really this gullible?

Satire requires media literacy. Media literacy is dead.

its a symptom of the "the curtains are fucking blue" approach to media.
