Corrected entry: In the scene where Del Spooner was attacked by NS-5s from the carrier vehicles, he tried to fight for control while trying to get rid of the robots. When the car skidded from side to side, we can hear that the screeching sounds created are similar to tires rubbing on the ground. It is impossible for Del Spooner's car to make the screeching noise as the bottom is entirely metal as seen in the next scene, and that the car is itself levitating.

Corrected entry: The police chief said that a robot had never committed a crime but a thief could tell a robot to commit a crime for him or he would kill himself, as the robot would have to do it according to the three laws.
Correction: That does appear to be a potential loophole, yes, but either it's never actually happened, in which case the chief's statement is correct, or, if it has occured in the past, then it seems quite likely that the police would consider the thief rather than the robot to be the guilty party, as the robot is being coerced into carrying out the crime, in which case his statement is still not unreasonable.

Correction: The car is not levitating - it uses four spherical tyres which can be seen protruding through the bottom of the car. It's these that are making the screeching noises.
