What this proves

Independent footage shows a Knightscope K5 autonomously moving through a geofenced public environment as a patrol platform.

What this does NOT prove

A short observation does not establish detection accuracy, incident prevention, current-generation capability, customer outcomes, or long-term autonomous uptime.
