You’re not crazy, just slightly panicked.
They won’t be in the streets within a year.
It will certainly take at least TWO years to get there !

BD is bullshit. Cute videos of programmed dancing is not a labor force to reliably do work.
These videos are all the same -never actually working, and why the fuck would you make a robot a biped with only two arms? Is the point to increase productivity or look like cheap humans?
BD is far from bullshit. I used to work across the street from them and saw them testing robots countless times in the parking lot and surrounding area. They were also nice enough to give me & a bunch of coworkers a tour of their labs. It’s pretty darned impressive what they’ve achieved in 3 decades of research. This recent news story shows a lot of the capabilities of their current generation Atlas robot.

Also, I think Hyundai/Boston Dynamics will get there first :
