These type of robots are being developed today.
The technology and the capability, Unitree in China is doing this as well.
The technology is extraordinary.
So I think that there is no question that we'll see more automation.
It'll be very specific to the job and task in the short term.
And does it become fully embodied?
Autonomous vehicles, you know, look at the...
uh car capability today what does that mean for you know will your uber drive itself rather than having an uber driver what does that mean for safety what does it mean for the insurance industry if cars don't crash into each anymore well what does it mean what does it mean for the drivers they're all out of work yeah um there's no question that they'll they'll change and and they'll have to find new opportunities i was in a zoox in las vegas recently which is similar to a
to the Waymo driverless vehicle.
And if you're in San Francisco or any of the cities in the US and you go into Waymo, it's quite amazing because you get in, there's no driver, there's a steering wheel and the pedals and it's operating itself and it's driving you out of the city.
I was in a Zooks in Las Vegas recently.
It's literally a lounge room on wheels.
It has no steering wheel, no pedals.
And I was talking to the guy that was running
the pickup area and I said, are there no humans?
And he said, well, I'm still here.
I'm the concierge that opens the door, checks you didn't leave your hat or your jacket in the car.
And also he pointed out to me some of the other zooks have been
people in them with computers because they're actually out doing the video recording of the street and traffic and human interaction so those jobs didn't exist so the driver driverless vehicle it exists now there's no driver but there's a whole lot of new jobs that didn't exist mapping the routes and human interaction and other things so i think this is just the history of technology these things are
Well, your computer doesn't go out on a Friday night, have too many beers and then drive their car home, do they?
