Home robotics has to solve two problems: the robot and operating the robot ~perfectly. Self-driving cars already have cars, which are waldos, if you squint. What sort of sensors should be added is up for debate but the actuation mechanism is a solved problem, and a very simple one, cars have three linear inputs and two binary ones for the turn signals. Technically a few more but none of them are any less trivial.
There's less risk of a fatality when Rosie Robot knocks over the vase you inherited from your grandmother, but people are no more tolerant of that kind of failure in home robots than they are in cars.
