I saw the future at a gas station—and it was cleaning the floor. I spotted this at a RaceTrac gas station—a fully autonomous floor scrubber quietly doing its thing. No human pushing. No “coming soon.” Just working. And it’s not just gas stations: Grocery stores have bots roaming aisles spotting spills. Security robots patrol parking garages and malls. Window-washing bots scale skyscrapers. Office and hotel corridors get cleaned without a mop bucket in sight. Apartments? Lobby and hallway cleaning robots are already here. Exterior glass-cleaning bots are in pilot programs. Security patrol bots are roaming some properties (privacy debates aside). Full-unit cleaning robots are still early—but closer than you think. Where are you seeing robots in actual use today? Because in a few years, it’ll be surprising not to see them everywhere. This reminds me of the early PC era all over again—only now it’s paired with AI. The curve isn’t slow, and the future is about to get interesting fast.
