At Tesla’s recent Cybercab reveal, Optimus robots were showcased interacting with guests, serving drinks, playing games and even talking. However, these impressive displays were not fully autonomous. Attendees noted that the robots were controlled via human assistance, using AI primarily for walking, while their voices and responses were remotely managed.
Tesla didn’t try to hide this, with one robot even joking about being human-assisted. While entertaining, the event didn’t offer real insight into the progress of Tesla’s humanoid robotics development.
