Trust me, plenty of millionaires are doing their laundry in a shared Waschküche in Zürich!

Current Chinese dev bots cost like $15k. Vapourware startups are claiming they'll ship their humanoid robot product at $20k. I'd pay that in a heartbeat for robot that could actually do my laundry.

(But more impactfully surely there are loads of Californians with a utility room in their garage, or a basement that can't be accessed from inside the house)

(Also... I just realised, if there were robots that could do laundry, but couldn't navigate to my basement, I would move. I think laundry bots would genuinely be that desirable)

Maybe, but I was thinking the next bracket or two up. I'm sure things will trickle down though.
