Much as I hate this guy, guessing he didn't design it and it wouldn't be hard for a humanoid robot to end up looking pretty similar to an I-robot.

Be nice to keep attention to this ass out of the news unless it's raising awareness to the real harm he is doing.

I compared the Cybercab to the I robot car.

They don't share the same design. All lines are different. Maybe the side windows are similar.
