- Retric 6y agoAt 75,000$ using a person is almost always going to be a better solution right now. Even above 20k I suspect it’s mostly just people doing R&D. However, that is kind of like looking at the first version of the segway and ignoring the cheap ”hoveboards” that showed up at 1/60th the price. At say 1,000$ you can bet some people would use them for dog walking.

At say 1,000$ you can bet some people would use them for dog walking. The Segway was from the get go a product with immediate and obvious uses. It didn't take off the way Kamen thought it would, but it was a product. This by contrast is barely a product at all, it's almost 100% a research tool. Even most of the people who use this thread suggest as much.
