Elon Musk says the humanoid robot will use all the tools in Tesla’s vehicles — sensors, cameras, neural networks, etc. — to autonomously navigate the outside world.
Tesla Inc. showcased its artificial-intelligence systems on Thursday amid renewed criticism for Autopilot, its most-talked-about AI-based system, as it unveiled its next big project: a humanoid robot.
“We’re making the pieces that would be useful for a humanoid robot, so we should probably make it. If we don’t, someone else will — and we want to make sure it’s safe,” Musk said. Musk said he hopes the robot is not perceived as something “dystopian,” and that it could even “be your friend.” When asked in a Q&A session about the possibility of superhuman AI eventually running amok, Musk said that while that’s a concern, Tesla is aiming to make “useful,” or “narrow,” AI that will be used “unequivocally” for good.
In addition to showing off its technology, AI Day served as a recruitment event, and Musk encouraged prospective hires to apply for hardware or software jobs at Tesla. “Join our team, help build this,” he said. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also has opened several investigations related to Autopilot, including some that resulted in deaths. Alleged Autopilot malfunctions have sparked more than a dozen lawsuits in the U.S.
Musk is known for his bold claims that don’t always pan out, such as promising for years a completely autonomous Los Angeles-to-New York trip, and plans for a fleet of robotaxis as early as this year.
