    So… when does it come available for the public? Never?

      For real…my brother is quadriplegic, and I work at a clinic that treats people with spinal cord injuries.

      When my brother was first in his accident 9 years ago, headlines like this always got me excited. Almost a decade on, I’m just jaded with them.

    This is a step in the right direction but it is years from being ready for humans but hopefully it will get there.
