I, for one, look forward to our new RUST overlords...

Now I need a catalog, archive, or historian function that archives and pulls the elements easily. Amazing work!
But that's not the objective, and so your research is doomed
The medical equipment industry will not suffer fools who don't understand 'regulatory capture' and 'rent seeking.'
Those hospital machines are expensive and rare for reasons that have very little to do with cost or performance
Don't run under grampa Biden's rocking chair and hope he doesn't glide over your tail.

Because, I stayed in a Holiday Inn last night and now I am a Marketing professional
Existing options are based on 100-year-old overhead trolley lines which work ok, but come with dramatic downsides in capital costs and operational limitations.
Static charging takes too much time and happens frequently due to battery size limitations. (There's a huge tradeoff between carrying a lot of battery versus payload.)
Induction efficiencies are too low, so direct contact is required at these power levels
As mining transitions to zero-emissions, these infrastructure systems require the same attention and innovation
Do new cars appear to be safer because new car owners drive more defensively?
Perhaps bad drivers can only afford old cars and smash them up?
Data is a slippery fish
What will the PORN industry decide?
Does this new platform drive new, exclusive revenue sources for immersive PORN?
If the answer is yes, then the technology and commercial infrastructure will follow. I suspect the answer sounds like an out-of-context Carl Sagan quote, "...Billions and Billions..."
Whoever drives that content through those goggles will be rich beyond measure... unfortunately.
What if civilization depends on nicotine and without it, we devolve back to the stone age?
Increase volume when you lose money on every unit?
This isn't software... especially when you better accrue a giant pot of warranty money for the inevitable battery and system recalls over the early infant years.
I agree with your initial premise about actually introducing low-cost versions, but these must be subsidized by the high margin versions just like airline flights. Business travel pays for the infrastructure used by the masses.
The whole model depends on high-margin cash flow carrying the business forward into the high-volume, low-margin production. If there isn't any cash leftover, the whole thing crashes into the terminal at the end of the runway in a fireball.
The absolute best for long format (2.5 hrs) breakdown of mystery, murder, history, comedy, and other amazing stories told by a wickedly intelligent host with a strong sense of comedic irony. Every episode gets me through my Saturday chores with laughter, amazement, and the occasional onset of 'sudden allergy syndrome' aka tears.
Nimrod is pleased
Natalie Portman never stopped in for a visit
My only /. regret
c'est dommage Natalie, the loss was yours I am sure
They pass these costs directly to the renter
The occupants pay real estate taxes

The cheapest way to meet the EPA MPG requirements is to INCREASE the vehicle wheelbase and make it larger. This is much easier than making it lighter or adding fuel efficient engines and technology. Plus, Americans have shown a preference for larger cars.
It's a win-win until people can't afford the tin
The world seems strangely less friendly without him
TO this day, my kids don't pass a truck without checking for Large Marge!
