I don't think the question is whether they're solving a problem but how profitable the market is: VC bubble thinking tends to chase high-margin businesses but this seems like something where anyone in it long-term will need to be comfortable with far more modest margins similar to what the restaurant industry has, especially since they can't make up a low-profit entree by selling high-profit alcohol and soda.

The number of times I've read an account of this kind of scenario playing out in the past few years is absolutely mind-boggling and depressing. The fact that in the US you can so easily be shot to bits by police just by accidentally making a small incorrect movement is just insane to me. I understand that police face real threats and need to take precautions to protect their own lives, but surely there must a better system to accomplish this other than requiring someone to immediately perform a sequence of body movements without making a single mistake or else you kill them.
