While the coronavirus pandemic has created a huge opportunity for robots, the technology isn't mature enough to seize the moment, experts say. Robots haven't yet proven they're safe enough to operate fully independently.
These technologies would have proven beneficial in a year defined by the Covid-19 pandemic, where contactless delivery and driverless cars would help keep humans out of harm's way. But none of these long-promised technologies are ready for widespread public use -- and now an opportunity appears to be slipping away."I almost view it as a solved problem," Tesla CEO Elon Musk said of autonomous driving back in 2015.
Robots haven't yet proven they're safe enough to operate fully independently.Pony AI launched a delivery service that uses self-driving cars in Irvine, California. So far, it makes about 200 deliveries a day.Companies must rely on humans to supervise delivery robots, to prevent mistakes and help the robot out of confusing situations. Pony AI, for example, still has a safety driver sitting behind the wheel, and another human watching its fleet from its offices.
