The R1 is more a platform attempt at this point. Their aim is to disrupt if possible - hence their logic over putting this in dedicated hardware and owning the entire experience - and not just publishing a phone app.

I could see some future LAM integrations be paid service extras.

They're not really a startup. They've changed their name a bunch of times.
