Most of these things have long since been disrupted:
Making meals :- go to a cafe, been around for centuries, uber eats etc. Worst case, get frozen meals (some are really good) and bung them in the microwave.
Driving Kids :- Taxi, bus, chauffeur, again have been around for ages, auto drive cars are not that far away, but will you be willing to abandon your kids to the machine?
Grocery and other shopping:- Amazon, online shopping.
Picking up:- If you can't manage to put things away yourself, then get a maid or cleaner.
As somebody else posted, most of these automated devices don't seem to have got much further than they were in the tech shows of the late 70's, they just have more "AI" built in the seem to be designed to make you purchase from their vendor.

There is one exception - the robo-vacuum. It's good enough today to run 99% unattended (you still have to empty the dust bin by hand and clean hairs from its wheels). It does a more thorough job than a human already.
We've had a Rumba for some time. In the early days it was used regularly, now almost never. I don't know why, but I find that 5 minutes with a manual vacuum achieves a far better result than watching the Rumba bash it's way around the room for 30 minutes or more.
I’ve found the wireless vacuum (eg Dyson) to be even better: you just pull it out, vacuum, put it back. It’s more powerful than a robovac and, without cord fussing, incredibly low overhead.
