I think this is great, the more robots they make means more people can stay home and get a check for free. I wish there were robots doing my job, I would have a good back.

It looks pretty limited to me. Small capacity and weight limit. Slow, How is it in rough terrain and adverse conditions, mud snow hills? I'm not so sure it would eliminate jobs, but maybe add jobs. Someone still has to load and unload it. It will need matainence. Tires lights batteries ( it didn't look like it had a very long run time either) sensors controllers chargers. It looked like it was being controlled by a person with a remote controller walking with it. Hope he doesn't twist an ankle, so much for no injuries. Might need to build a separate secure garage or facility to store and maintain them with specialized tools charging outlets and lifts to work on them. It all seems a bit bass ackwards to me. Just put the water in the back of one of the two dozen pickups already on site and get the job done in 1/4 of the time. My suspicions are it is Honda on a fishing expidition testing autonomous systems for future car applications.
