The Tesla robot announcement in August 2021 came as a surprise, and many observers found it hard to get used to. However, Musk said this January without fear that the humanoid helper, now known as Optimus, has a top priority in product development in 2022 and Electric cars may be more important to Tesla, In April, he reiterated this and specified that the robot could be worth even more than the FSD autopilot software for autonomous driving of the future, which in turn is said to be worth far more than the electric car business.

So, according to Musk, there’s a lot of business to get into here — and for humanity, with the hordes of robots, a “very age” in which the laws of economics are no longer valid, as they say.

In doing so, Musk hopes to be able to make more use of artificial intelligence for the autopilot system, which, according to his description, has to make sense of the real world almost anyway. Of However, the road to autonomous driving has taken too long at TeslaAs promised by them, so that the robot can disappoint even the hopes of quick success with it.
