That much was obvious when Google (Rubin) bought them. Expecting a commericial product from BD in short order is absurd. Expecting them to abandon 35 years of work on hydraulic legs and go back to the drawing board is worse. I guess we'll never know what Rubin was thinking when he went on a shopping spree with daddy's credit card; or if he was thinking at all. Hopefully Toyota will be more accomodating; and maybe somewhere in the 2030 timeframe it will be time to start thinking seriously about commercializing useful bipedal robots. A company with decades of experience mass producing machines with 1000s of separate components I'm sure will be much better equipped to handle that than Alphabet.
