As I sit here listening to the dulcet tones of Herbert vacuuming the front room (yes, the housekeepers were here yesterday...but Herbert is more thorough), it seems appropriate to suggest some alterations:A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
I don't want Herbert to think; Herbert should vacuum. And, it must be said, he's doing a remarkably good job of it.A robot may not allow dust mites to injure a human being or, through inaction, permit dust mites to proliferate. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would involve doing the dishes, rather than vacuuming. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not prevent it from vacuuming the edge of the stairs.

In 2007, Ohio ranked 36th among states for the number of highway deaths per 100,000 people, with 1,163 fatal crashes, according to the highway association. Last year, deaths fell to 1,091, a near-record low, said Lindsay Komlanc, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Public Safety.:-)
(Massachusetts tied for the fewest number of deaths in 2007, even though in the GMAC test, it ranked 45th.)
