Is Humanoid Adoption Following the Same Curve as Automobiles? Is history repeating itself? This chart compares the adoption of gas-powered cars and humanoid robots, and the answer is striking: both technologies follow almost identical growth trajectories. In 1893, commercial sales of gas-powered cars took off. It took 17 years to reach one million vehicles sold annually, a milestone achieved in 1910. Today, the humanoid industry appears to be on the same path: the first significant commercial sales began in 2013, and forecasts suggest that one million units sold annually could be reached by 2030—again, 17 years after the start of commercialization. Why is this comparison relevant? The automobile revolutionized mobility, society, and the economy. Humanoids, with their potential applications in industry, services, and even daily life, could have a similar impact. Companies like Boston Dynamics are betting on this technology to transform our world, much like Ford and Benz did in their time. What about the future? If the trend holds, we could see mass adoption of humanoids by the end of the decade. A technological and societal revolution worth watching closely. $TSLA (Tesla Motors, Inc.) $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) $IRBTQ (iRobot Corp.) $ROK (Rockwell Automation Inc) $ISRG (Intuitive Surgical Inc)
