Musk is doubling down on the company's efforts to develop a working prototype of its much-hyped and much-criticized Optimus humanoid robot, so much so that he's willing to borrow workers from the carmaker's autopilot department to speed things up
There are end of month deadlines for both summon and auto park, which are being worked on by the autopilot/ai team.
We haven't seen much progress on the humanoid robot, which means that plenty of people are still skeptical of the project.
Musk's tendency to vastly overpromise is something which has done with abandon for a long time.
The clock is about to run out, as the second day ofTesla's artificial intelligence is just a few days away. The event was pushed back from August to September 30 because of Musk's promise of a working prototype.
"I think we will have something pretty good at the prototype level this year, and it might be ready for at least a moderate volume production towards the end of next year," he said.
The most important product development we're doing this year was described by Musk during the January earnings call.
According to Musk, the robot is meant to be an elegant solution to labor shortages.
He said that capital equipment is distilled labor. What if you don't have a labor shortage? I don't know what an economy means at that time. That is what the person is talking about.
Despite Musk's comments and repeated promises, the company has yet to make any progress on the project.
We can't do anything about it, we have to wait for Artificial Intelligence Day to find out.
One thing we know for certain is that developing a robot will be difficult.
The lead of NASA's Dexterous Robotics Team said that self-driving cars weren't as easy as people thought. It's the same with humanoidrobots to some degree.
Musk faces skepticism as he prepares to unveil a robot.
