"We don't yet let robots wash the car or mow the lawn, but dissect out a cancerous prostate? Sure, go ahead."

This clearly implies that the sort of autonomous device that might mow your lawn (and which already vacuums people's houses) is doing surgery. Sepkowitz really does appear to have no idea what he is talking about.

for another thing, there are robot lawnmowers now, kind of roomba-ish, and if those drivethrough automatic carwashes aren't robots, then who is stuck inside them doing the washing?
