And the human race ends not with a bang or a whimper, but a digital moan...

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.From the limited description these seem to be focused on men's requirements. Do you suppose there is a version for females in the works? They didn't say anything about cost.
I predict that the biggest market for these robotic sex dolls, both male and female versions, will be the seniors market. In fact, I predict that, when available, these dolls will mean the demise of senior online dating.

For the ladies, the robot can make you a sammich after sex.
This technology will help alleviate the issues of overpopulation in the world.

@altschmerz Well, they definitely have to do something about the voice, otherwise I think they are fascinating.
Nah....we think we're so special that we will see "the end"....
Sorry; no digital moans, bangs, nor whimpers are in the forecast.
I did find an excellent talk on why we have to solve the Fossil Fuel CO2 buildup issues soon, though....

I think you may have missed the point. Reduced reproduction.
@MojoDave I didn't find any discussion of reproduction...just a montage of the stage of robotics. The OP...suggested the human race ends with moans, bangs, nor whimpers - implies, to me, the impending disaster of
#1;Global warming or
#2. nuclear holocaust -
very remotely #3; from new, powerful strains of disease germs,
and even more remotely from #4. mass starvation.
Hence my suggestion via Elon Musk....
I don't see Robotic sex having any suggestion of reduced reproduction.
Reduced sexual repro will have to come with the wisdom of family planning - which in turn comes with less religion.
I give that some optimism; I foresee that happening in a few decades.
Robotic sex might be inviting to a handful of ultra rich in decades to come; but I doubt it'll have any significance in the near future.
@Robecology you missed the point in a very charming way. Tip of the hat
