Tesla’s surprise announcements: Robovan and Optimus
Reminder that back in 2021 the humanoid robot was just someone in a robot suit, the ones yesterday were remote controlled by people, and in 2019 Musk said “Next year for sure we will have over a million robotaxis on the road.”.
Art Nouveau mock-ups aside (and, let's face it, it'd be kickass to see the whole carbeurated hot rod culture replaced with electric vehicles with wicked cool body sculpture and paint jobs), the whole thing is summed up nicely in Pivot to AI: Elon’s double nothingburger: robotaxis any year now, bro. And robots, bro. Trust us, bro.
