It could be great for humanity except for a few details. I only know a few blind people, so my opinion sucks but: they usually don't have a lot of money to spend, and I don't think they would appreciate losing their autonomy to a commercial company, even more if the CEO is an unreliable pedophile drug addict that loves Nazism.
But I could be wrong.
I meant like a person who has limited mobility or something like that could operate the robot to do stuff around the house for themselves, instead of having to pay someone. But I guess it could work for a blind person that needs care to have someone else operate the robot for them but they could do so remotely instead of having to come to them. I am also not speaking of the ones musk is developing. Obviously no one should buy anything that dude has a hand in. As for paying for it, I would assume it'd be treated like other medical devices where your healthcare coverage helps with the costs, but yea, corporations will probably do everything in their power to make it as unobtainable as possible.
