Do you see the platform then providing for now "reptile" autonomy (mobility, navigation, localisation) to get started fast, so customers can focus on their "neo-cortex" applicative needs?

(please let me emphasize this "reptile" autonomy is today perhaps the hardest/time-consuming part killing many startups, as you nicely explain in the OP---Moravec's paradox)

That's a great way to think about it, you are describing it exactly correctly.
