That is true, except I'm talking about utility primarily. Garbage trucks already fulfill the design I'm mentioning and are used daily in most cities already.

This is why the primary will be so important, and why Biden basically handed the win to Trump by pushing Harris instead of having a primary.

This is a great summary of exactly why I won't have kids. I don't want to spend all my waking hours working so a billionaire can afford a private island.
