He won't be able to do the other things either.

The most difficult part of designing humanoid robots is the AI. Boston Dynamics has been working on it since 1993. You can't just slap an LLM on it and hope it works. They will also need rigorous safety testing before a new product like this is even allowed to be sold. Not going to happen in 10 years. 20-30 years at least.

Tesla also is incredibly far behind with their self driving cars. Even if they finally get permission to sell robot taxis, the market will already be saturated by other manufacturers. They will be lucky to sell that many.

It will just all go on his list of unaccomplished lies:

The United States might let them on the roads, but the rest of market won’t.

12 million vehicles basically guarantees they have to sell overseas, and for Tesla that pretty much means Europe and Australia, which both have more strict vehicle safety standards than the US.

It’s not gonna happen.

Welcome to the world according to Musk. These things will be out in the wild, mangling people and spontaneously combusting before a safety inspector can get within a mile of Tesla.

Musk does not need rigorous safety testing for his shit cars, why would he need them for murderous robots?

It's not even AI that's the problem wrt to making humanoid robots, it's the lack of dexterity of automatons to do even the most basic tasks that most human can do. Even if AI improves, robots that can move like humans is still the hurdle.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 1 points 13 hours ago

Definitely, the small and powerful motors it requires don't exist yet. Every robot until then will move more slowly and fluently than a human

But they don't need them to in order to sell them. They do need the AI to be smart enough not to kill the humans it works with.
