Musk: is working on the humanoid robot Optimus Prime and summoning / automatic parking
CTOnews.com, September 20 (Xinhua)-- on June 3 this year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted that the second Tesla AI Day (artificial Intelligence Day) was postponed to September 30, when a humanoid robot Optimus prototype may be displayed.
Musk said on the social platform today that all cars with a safety score of more than 80 in the United States and Canada will receive an invitation to download FSD Beta 10.69.2.2 by tomorrow. In addition, in response to netizens' comments, Musk said Tesla's autopilot / artificial intelligence team is working on humanoid robot Optimus and summoning / automatic parking functions, and the deadline is the end of this month. This further confirms that Tesla will display a prototype of Optimus Prime (Optimus) at the second Tesla AI Day.
Musk has previously revealed that the humanoid robot Optimus Prime will operate using the eight cameras used in its autopilot system and will install a screen on its head in order to interact with humans. He also said that if the humanoid robot Optimus Prime can be mass produced in the next two years, it will cost less than a car under the scale effect, and may sell for $25000 (about 175000 yuan).
According to CTOnews.com, at the Tesla shareholders' meeting held on August 4 local time, Musk said that in the long run, Optimus Prime robots will be more valuable than cars and will revolutionize the economy. Musk has previously said that Optimus Prime can basically do anything that humans don't want to do, such as performing dangerous, repetitive or boring tasks.
