As my parents get older, I'm starting to understand the real value that robots / autonomous driving has for addressing core accessibility issues.

I have no idea about the maturity of this company in particular, but it's interesting that glossy robotics startups never lean in on that as a core user base.

It's because they are not ready for real life applications (yet). Currently makers of humanoid robots have to ride the hype train, and this works better with addressing the desire of owning a bot that will make your life more luxurious.
