Elon Musk claims the Tesla Optimus robot will be worth more than the company's whole self-driving business.
Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, has stated that the company's humanoid robot Optimus will one day be "worth more than" the company's self-driving electric cars business. Full self-driving (FSD) refers to a set of Tesla sophisticated driver-assistance capabilities that make use of the electric car's onboard cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) technology to accomplish duties like automated lane changes and semi-autonomous navigation.
The business Elon Musk is still working on its humanoid robot Optimus, which was first presented last year in August, during the company's first quarter of 2022. The robot will be roughly 173cm tall (5ft 8in), weigh around 57kg (126lb), and be manufactured from "lightweight materials," according to the billionaire. It will be built using the same AI that the electric car firm uses for its automobiles.
The robot is designed to be nice and travel around a world built for humans on a mechanical level with a display panel somewhere on its body to show information. Individuals were unaware of the scope and significance of this program. Elon Musk Predicted as those who are astute or pay attention will realize that Optimus will be worth more than the automobile industry, worth more than FSD.
The world’s richest man Elon Musk described the robot as the most important product Tesla is developing in 2022, “more significant” than the Electric cars business. Optimus is designed to be a general-purpose robot, however, early versions would only have factory-based applications, according to him.
Elon Musk has stated, It has huge ramifications for the economy, given that the economy at its base level is labor. It's unclear whether a working version of the humanoid bot will be presented this year, as the billionaire predicted.
