We will all be assimilated by robots

Quite a novel idea.

Heard of this about 2 maybe 3 years ago.

Have keen interest since shipping is part of what I do.

Lots and lots of variables and kinks to resolve. A big one here in the US is the FAA.

[Successful] commercial application is several years away.
