I saw over a dozen self driving cars on my way to work today. Weave Robotics launched a laundry helper months ago, although my sense is that "laundry folding" is a bit of a meme and people don't actually care very much about automating it.
I strongly disagree. Tedious yet necessary and ultimately unending tasks are exactly what the average person wants from automation.
Yes, but we just don’t fold that much laundry and you can easily do it while watching streaming videos. Most people don’t even own a laundry folding board.
I think you're underestimating how much laundry there is for families. But in general, it's one of the tedious things that people want automation to handle. They may not buy something just for folding laundry, but if it can do other household chores I think it could be a big success. That's a ways off in the future, though.
