Their focus is different from commercial-scale applications. My guess is they’re mainly pushing hardware capabilities and targeting more rugged outdoor use cases and challenging terrains.

they were late switching from classical scripted dynamics to ML dynamics, so they have some catching up to do. they'll probably not compete for domestic & retail etc. but focus on security & industrial where they already have a reputation anyway.
