As I continually point out to complainers, we don’t have those things because of economics, not a lack of science or engineering. (science fiction rarely takes account of economics)
There are robots everywhere. In operating rooms, cars, factories, appliances, phones… They just don’t look like people. And instead of jetpacks, we have hoverboards.
We have both drones and robots they just don’t resemble most of the early designs some remember. And robotics had been around for centuries before that.

Traffic is bad enough without having to add flying card and robots everywhere. I agree, walkig is much nicer especially with Ben and dog.
