I've actually wondered if we'd be faster to full home automation if you made slight modifications to the home itself to enable more purpose built factory style automation to take over.

- switch to zero wrinkle foldable clothes and use an all in one washer dryer -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gIi4u6NdV0

- self cleaning toilet and bathroom - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CCI-ysfFr8

- faux wood tile floors for robot vacuums/mops

- smart oven with food prep subscription - https://www.tovala.com

- grocery delivery service

Really its the self cleaning bathroom that probably isn't all that common just yet. The rest can be done today.

My wife watched that video, and was nodding along... "It's a bit wasteful of water, but I like the idea!" And then the video ended with "And the latest version is transparent."

She yelped "why the HELL would they end with a statement like that, and not explain or go into any kind of detail?!?!?"

FWIW they mean something like these toilets: https://youtube.com/watch?v=KGoKsv2omBU
