Brilliant! 
Google dabbles in stuff buys and sells, Softbank buys and sells stakes in many technology companies and runs venture funding too, the aim would always to sell to an end user for the technology. They've done that by selling 80% to Hyundai. I guess they will be building and test driving cars next.
Would you want a fully automated self driving car, or a normal car driven by one of these robots that can also help with the heavy shopping

Amusing, but I am a cycnic.
Hyundai bought the company a few weeks ago for $1bn. Seems strange Google and Softbank both sold it if they were really as impressive as their viral vids suggested...
IMO Hyundai could make a killing. Hyundai bought the company a few weeks ago for $1bn. Seems strange Google and Softbank both sold it if they were really as impressive as their viral vids suggested...
How valuable would a machine be that could unload random stuff and stack it neatly after walking over arbitrary terrain? As an example, this morning I was unloading a big trailer of wood. A walking robot that you could instruct to pick really heavy things off the trailer and just follow you with them would be awesome. My mother would love one - pick up that flower pot and move it to the table or help me out of the bath. If such a thing could be built for £20k, they’d sell like hot cakes.

The military was interested in working with them, but then pulled out. And one of their main issues was the noise they make.
Would your mother want a noisy thing in her house?

The early ones were all petrol powered, but these look like they run on batteries.
A different company, Ghost Robotics, has made a similar 'robot dog', and it's going to the military https://www.digitaltrends.com/features/ghost-robot...
I don't think it's as advanced on the AI and automation side as Boston Dynamics yet, they're saying it's RC control at the moment and automated commands are coming.

We dont have AI yet.
Ok, some "AI" aping systems, but so far away from a self aware AI as to not really deserve the title.
Its the people behind them you need to worry about.
