This episode of Cyber is an action packed double feature that feels like it\\u2019s been pulled directly from a Cyberpunk novel. That\\u2019s right, today is all about railway strikes and killer robots. It\\u2019s hard to be a railway worker in America. The schedules are a nightmare, the kind of working conditions that can make someone sick. Just don\\u2019t try to use your sick days. Facing a railway strike, Congress passed legislation to prevent it. All at the behest of the White House. We\\u2019ll get into that. 

Then we\\u2019ll talk about San Francisco. The City by the Bay has written the rules of killer robots. SF won\\u2019t have the first police department that\\u2019s killed someone with a drone, just the first with rules.

With me today to talk about it is Motherboard Senior Writer Aaron Gordon. He\\u2019s been following both stories. You may remember he was on the show more at the start of the year talking about the horrifying conditions of America\\u2019s rail workers.
