They couldn't even make burger flipping robots work and are paying fast food workers $20/hr in California.
If that doesn't make it obvious what they can and cannot do then I can't respect the tranche of "hackers" who blindly cheer on this unchecked corporate dystopian nightmare.
They can totally make it work, it’s just currently cheaper to have humans do it.
Solving the technical challenges and using that solution profitably are two completely different things.
