Where is society headed?

In this Kia commercial you'll notice one very important thing, robots. In the commercial a man kicks the tire of a car and the robot proceeds to assault him. The important thing to notice though is that the two robots are up next to the car in place of the usual human models. What does this say about society? Is this beginning to become acceptable, replacing humans with robots? I think this commercial really ties in with what Sherry Turkle talks about in alone together and the direction the class as a whole has gone in.
