"Consumers simply aren't going to spend the equivalent of buying a new car for something that can be done by a minimum-wage maid service" a leased new car costs the consumer a few hundred dollars a month, which is the equivalent of say 30 or 40 hours of minimum wage labor. a robot that cleans floors, prepares food, washes clothes, folds laundry, cleans windows, serves meals, puts dishes away, feeds the dog, waters plants etc. could work 24/7 (with swappable batteries). i'm not convinced that consumers wouldn't pay that if the technology could get there. of course we are far from a robot that can do all of that, but in my opinion, the prize to the company that can deliver this is massive.
