What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-21

Too early to adopt

Why
Genuinely impressive hardware, a real factory and now a fully committed industrial owner, but reliability is unproven, the public reveal was teleop-assisted, and there is no use case for a six-figure humanoid in a software/commerce ecosystem.
Next
Watch for first non-captive customer deployments in 2027 and any published uptime/MTBF numbers from the 2028 Hyundai Metaplant rollout.
