"There is excitement from the tech press, but we are also starting to see some negative threads about it being terrifying, ready to take humans' jobs," Courtney Hohne, director of communications for Google X wrote in a private email that was obtained by Bloomberg.
"We do not want to trigger a whole separate media cycle about where BD really is at Google," she later wrote, adding that "we are not going to comment on this video because there's really not a lot we can add, and we do not want to answer most of the Qs it triggers."

Google was supposed to ship affordable robots as quickly as possible but leadership changes and clashes between robotics engineers working for Google and Boston Dynamics engineers eventually led to an inability to deliver, the report said. Toyota or Amazon could be interested in acquiring Boston Dynamics for their manufacturing or warehouse operations.
