Dogs cost a lot to maintain, think about Vet expense and Food. Lithium batteries simply need electricity.

- lelf 8y agoDogs don’t require charging every 20–30 minutes. Dogs can fly^Wrun without remote control.
- allannienhuis 8y agoThe dog's remote control is the whistle. :) I expect that at some point the utility of the robot/drone will outpace the utility of the dog in this role (and others). Wanting to hang on to our dogs isn't a bad thing, but I don't think we will be able to make as many arguments based on their utility. Instead we'll just have to accept the idea that the reasons for having them (and even working with them) will be cultural/emotional instead, which are perfectly good reasons. We have an Australian Shepherd as a family pet - they're amazing companions!
