Tesla's "We, Robot" launch event was officially held yesterday amidst much fanfare. Despite some hiccups at the beginning, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of many tech enthusiasts, and when the live signal was finally connected, the number of viewers of the video number alone had already exceeded 300,000 people.
Revolution in the transportation industry
At the start of the event, Musk entered the room in Robotaxi, Tesla's latest self-driving robot cab.
The Tesla Robotaxi, named Cybercab, is expected to cost less than $30,000 and will go into production in 2026. Cybercab has no steering wheel or pedals, adopts a two-seat design with butterfly-wing doors, and is equipped with a brand-new autopilot system, the latest sensor technology and artificial intelligence algorithms, which enables it to realize fully autonomous driving, and can automatically reach its destination just by getting into the car. can automatically reach its destination.
In addition, based on Robotaxi's advanced self-driving function, parking problems will no longer exist. Compared to a regular car, Robotaxi can be utilized 5-10 times more, exceeding 100 hours or even 160 hours per week.
Musk said that the safety of Robotaxi is also greatly improved, FSD can achieve a level of safety that exceeds the human driver about ten times. And the cost of autonomous driving will be low, dropping to as little as $0.20 per mile in the future as the business scales, providing truly personalized public transportation for humans.
Another futuristic product unveiled at the event was the Robovan, which looks like a bus and is capable of carrying 20 passengers as well as cargo.
Looking ahead, Musk said he expects Texas and California to be the first to roll out fully unsupervised FSD Autopilot next year, and by 2027, Tesla will massively roll out Cybercab and push for unsupervised FSD in models such as the Model 3, with Autopilot turning parking lots into parks.
Humanoid robots blowing up the field
Finally, Tesla brought an update on its humanoid robot Optimus.
At the event, numerous humanoid robots Optimus slowly walked out.
Musk said that the batteries, power electronics, advanced motors, transfer cases, software, AI inference devices, and other technologies for self-driving cars can be integrated into humanoid robots. Scale production of the humanoid robot Optimus will cost between $20,000 and $30,000, cheaper than a car. Optimus will be able to take care of children, walk the dog, mow the lawn, go shopping, serve coffee, etc., and every one of the world's 8 billion people should have one.
Unlike the static image that has only appeared in the exhibition, the unveiling of the humanoid robot Optimus in the flexibility, intelligence has also taken a big step forward, the robot five-fingered dexterous hand is very flexible, the interaction ability has also been greatly improved, and can communicate with people freely.
Optimus has also made significant advances in its design, ability to perform tasks such as walking, grasping and holding, and its ability to mimic daily human activities in a more natural way. In addition, the new Optimus is equipped with more advanced sensors and an artificial intelligence system that enhances environmental awareness and enables it to perform complex tasks with greater precision.
On the scene, we can see Optimus incarnated as a "bartender", interacting with guests, quizzing, taking photos, and even providing drinks, desserts, performing dances, holding objects with precision, and overall becoming more human-like, which pushed the whole atmosphere of the launch event to a climax.
