They’ll knock a bit more off the price if you get the version that makes you dance along with commercial jingles.

Though it’d also be a great excuse. “I’m so sorry, this exoskeleton has a few bugs they just haven’t worked out yet…”

Will this work better than Tesla’s “autopilot”?

Integrating AI algos with a persons own body mechanics seems likely to have all sorts of strange consequences in the realm of perceptions of intentionality and volitional attitudes (I meant to do that). Imagine it sort of being like operating a Ouija board in tandem with the AI - plus you get to be the planchet. We get already have a taste of of mechatronically amplified behavioral traits in car capability and driving manners tropes - anticipating interesting cyberpunk dance styles in the dawning era.
73% is probably better than me. I once failed to find the kitchen roll on its holder because the first sheet had become folded over into a triangle and my brain was looking for a cylinder.

However, as the Big MT research teams soon learned, the harness design had several design problems that precluded it from entering general production, at least, until the issues were rectified. The primary problem was that calibrating the injury threshold that would trigger the suit was problematic, leading to unpredictable behavior. The harness is also unable to identify whether the occupant expired and will continue to function, even if they are completely dead. This functionality was quickly considered a “feature,” as autonomous corpse retrieval would also be useful on the battlefield.
The enthusiastic approach to this new technology was premature. If no home base was designated for the suit, suits would enter an unpredictable wander state. Completely lacking any IFF software and with no way to identify friendly targets or respond to shut-down commands, this would be equivalent to a berserk mode should a harness unit be able to replicate combat behavior.

Pattern recognition. I had a job where I’d be spotting and picking out a variety of fish species from a bucking, rolling deck of a fish boat with thousands of fish on it. I was fairly good at it. And yet when I’m looking for my hammer and my brain decides it has a wood handle, I have been known on multiple occasions to look underneath the red handled hammer that I actually own.

If you’re looking for your hammer, I’m surprised you even found it at all. In my experience, terrible as I am at finding anything, hammers run away on tiny little invisible legs the moment you turn your head.

Well, there’s the user’s intent, and then there is whoever controls the software’s intent. Bad enough when the manufacturer’s crappy DRMed software is deciding where and when you you go, but say howabout when the cops get ahold of it. Or Russian haxorz. Our your employer. This isn’t just control of your car, this is control of your person. One can imagine quite the techno dystopia, everybody locked into their intelligent power skeletons…
