And it’s fine. Boston Dynamics paved a way with research and prototypes and some company will come along and commoditize it. My point was that the economic culture in the US supports and this kind of innovation. No other country - maybe barring China, can do that. I’m not praising the US as a country either (infact I’m moving to Canada). The US has deep flaws but it’s one redeeming quality is industrial innovation. |
