Given tech is necessarily an expression of economics, it's not so much the unit price, but the cost of a warehouse replaced by these that they will scale to. They can work 24/7, will probably be leased as deductible opex, carry no legal risk, and even exorbitant repair and support costs will be worth it. There will still be roles for model trainers and ML supervision, just like we have forklift and backhoe operators today, but fewer of them.
I've said before if a task can be specified in a collective bargaining agreement, it can be automated. It's not luddism, I think we're really at an inflection point on automation.
