We thought the rider fell off or something and it was going to crash. Then it turned and kept mowing. Park Roomba!

    Mowing over a tennis ball isn’t harmful, I don’t see what this would prove.

      Depends who you ask, eh. If your tiny pet gets underneath there it’s gonna be a bad day.

      The tennis ball is just an analog for anything actually harmful. Testing its object detection without creating genuine hazards.

        What things the size and shape of a tennis ball are you concerned about it running over?

        If you’re worried about it running over a person, use something that looks like a person as your analogue.
