30 May, 2016
If you recall, back in March this year, there were reports that the Google-owned robotics engineering firm Boston Dynamics has been put up for sale. At that time Toyota and Amazon were named as possible buyers.

Most advanced robotic company, that pushed this technology to really amazing level. But because of lack of ideas from Google to move it to wider market they dumped it because there was no way to put ads on it and gather user data.
People know BD from their main robot, but they had lots more amazing ideas and tech that could be used in user/ entertainment and military market.
