Business idea, any thoughts?

5 points by Eddk ↗ HN
I have wonder about the possibility of using robots to fix cars... Considering the typical car today is quite computerized, I don't understand why I still have to deal with auto mechanics... your thoughts?...window washers too, why are those guys still hanging up there? A robot with lizard grip palms could do a much better job.

It will be hard to build a general-purpose robot with the ability to diagnose and fix cars. Aside from the problems of teaching it how to figure out what is wrong and what the solution is, the simple physical dexterity is beyond any autonomous robots of today.

The ideas are good. Implementation is the tricky part.
