Tesla had their “We, Robot.” event tonight at the Warner Brothers studio in Burbank, California.
A bunch of Tesla’s humanoid Optimus robots walked out alongside the reveal of Tesla’s new Robovan and Cybercab vehicles. The robot is seen in a video doing daily human tasks like bringing in a package off the porch and watering your plants.
“The Optimus will walk amongst you,” stated Local Man. “You’ll be able to walk right up to them, and they will serve drinks.” Musk explains it can basically “do anything” and mentions examples like walking your dog, babysitting your kids, mowing your lawn, serving you drinks, etc. He said it will cost $20,000 to $30,000 “long term.”
“I think this will be the biggest product ever of any kind,” Local Man claimed.
The world is slowly starting to see what we knew all along...
