The last 20 years of American history can be summarized by car size getting smaller after 9/11 due to rising gas prices. Then the domestication of the hummer because gas guzzling became a symbol of defiance against the A-rabs. Then the giant SUVs also getting steadily smaller due to even higher gas prices. Then finally settling on re-hummerization of cars by convincing people they need a giant pickup truck to haul a 2x4 from the hardware store for their weekend projects.

Then maybe they shouldn’t own an animal ~~capable of maiming or killing people.~~

This. When these things fail as factory workers he's going to spin it off into sex robots. There will be a culture around them like there is Tesla. Jordon Peterson will be there to expound the virtues of young men safely and morally work out their libidinal energies on the machines. They'll push it as a men's right issue to tap the incel bazingas directly.

Do you remember the 90s? People were talking about getting piercings and tribal tattoos. People were singing about saving the planet and forming bands. There's a place where that idea still exists as a reality -- Portland. Remember when people were content to be unambitious. They sleep until 11am. Just hung out with their friends. They had no occupations whatsoever. Maybe work a couple hours a week at a coffee shop. Portland is a city where young people go to retire.
