Elon Musk Tesla CEO has been teasing the upcoming Optimus humanoid prototype reveal on September 30. However, he met with skepticism from experts and investors that the groundbreaking technology can justify the expense of general purpose, with some people doubting that robots will be as effective as Musk claims.
According to Musk, Optimus will first be used in Tesla-owned vehicles, with the goal of eventually placing them in people’s homes. These robots’ technology is said to be so advanced that they can even cook dinner, mow the lawn, and care for the elderly.
However, given the problems Tesla has had with its self-driving electric vehicles in recent years, some are skeptical that the humanoid prototype will live up to expectations when it is unveiled on AI Day in September. With the robot business expected to surpass Tesla’s car revenue in the near future, Musk is determined to prove his critics wrong, with production set to begin as early as 2023.
