There have been services to help elderly people get their bags in and out of the car at the airport for literally decades.

As for "at their home" - if you think that the cross section of elderly people who:

Can't lift their bag into a car.

Travel frequently.

Have no friends or family to help.

Have no neighbors to help.

Don't live in assisted living.

Is enough to sustain the industry, I think you're in for a rude awakening.

> VCs are needed until a self-driving car can pick an elderly passenger at the airport and help them with their baggage when they get home.

This is a very good point. Also consider that many more people need help with groceries than with luggage.

Just call the "Human Uber" service instead, which will come with a pair of hands. I doubt that's more than 5% of their market, so it justifies having a differentiated price for the extra help you get.

I can't see why they're can't be a uber human driver option or you can simply ask from a cart boy to help with groceries.

Heck, with amazon groceries and other similar services, why do they even need to go to the store?
