Elderly people don't want robots, and yeah, good things© are unlikely to happen anyways. When new startups want to help people©, they are actually forced to go where the market is. "Well, only two years working for the autonomous drones for the army and we'll focus back on helping farmers". And years go by. Employees can believe in that vision, but can be tricked for years. They should change jobs. (there was a very true and touching testimony in this book (fr)[1]).

Also I believe 50 firemen robots is unlikely the best way to fight a fire :p Like autonomous cars: impose autonomous cars to lower car accidents in cities and save lives©? Just design the streets differently and prevent the cars to drive so fast…
