After CES 2018, how close are we to the Jetsons?

I found myself referencing a cartoon from the 1960s at the world's biggest tech conference in 2018. I hadn't even watched an episode of "The Jetsons" in years, but the whimsical future imagined by that classic Hanna-Barbera show remains a handy benchmark for our present-day inventions.
In particular, a robot called Aeolus reminded me of the show's Rosie the Robot. Rosie was a home helper that could clean up, take care of the kids, and hold a conversation. In addition to sentient, helpful robots, "The Jetsons" also features flying cars, meals you can make at the push of a button, even machines to help you brush your teeth.
