Teslarevealed the first point of its futureroboticplans near the end of its AI Day demonstration , making it clear that the Tesla Bot will not be triggering the robot apocalypse . While it sounds like a jocularity , there is serious argumentation around this issue with some expressing vexation about technology , particularly in the area of artificial tidings and robotics . Given the special detail and early stages of Tesla ’s mechanical man robot , a threat to humanity from automatic overlord   likely wo n’t be encounter any time soon .

awe of the machines taking over and stories of a robot apocalypse are pervasive in modern culture , yet there have n’t been any signs of robotic intelligence beyond advanced task solve . There is the potential risk posed by a malfunctioning or erroneous artificial intelligence ( AI ) . Ifthe full self - driving capability that is activein some of Tesla ’s cars take a shit a fault , any resulting collision would in the end be the fault of human machine driver , since Tesla suggest that it is a driver - help , not a replacement . injury from industrial golem have go on , however , those are normally accidental , coming from a human occupy a quad that the auto is bring within . For the foreseeable future , robot will not be planning to overthrow their makers .

Tesla ’s humanoid automaton , revealed during the troupe ’s AI Daylivestreamon YouTube , has a code name ofOptimus Subprime , which may make sense within the linguistic context of its restriction . The Tesla Bot is mean to be slower and watery than a human being . Grip intensity level is plan to be sufficient to bear a tool and strong enough to carry a loge , but plan in such a way that itcannot overpower a human . An lesson is reveal in the preliminary spec of the machine . With a deadlift capacity of 150 pounds and a box - carrying ability of about 45 pounds , this is within human limits . Where it falls below human strength is the power when its weaponry are extended . In this position , lifting capacity drop to only 10 pounds . That mean a golem reaching for a human , unlikely as that might seem in the near future , could be easily whelm by almost anyone .

Tesla’s Robot & The Future

If a soul feels a need to avoid a robot , most will be capable to easily outsmart the Tesla Bot since the top speed is expected to be 5 mile per hour , which is equivalent to a fast walk or a jog . The design is to avoid everneeding to flee from a robotand Tesla ’s father Elon Musk has been quite vocal about the dangers of artificial intelligence service and claims Tesla want to reach these milestones first so that they are reached safely . The thought behind Tesla ’s Optimus Subprime is to assist mankind and reject any foreseeable peril , even from the AI .

accord to Musk , Tesla is building itshumanoid robotto deal serious , insistent , and tiresome jobs that humans are task with at the mo . In the question and answer portion of the event , someone raise the point that jobs fitting the ' insistent and tedious ' description are low - paid jobsbegging the interrogation of how it makes sensory faculty financiallyto make a very advanced ( and presumptively expensive ) robot to fill these situation . Musk did n’t challenge the statement , simply suggesting that it would be a ' wait and see ' moment . There is a real chance that the first model will be designed for the extremist - rich , just as the first Tesla Roadster train for the high - terminal market to   provide financial support for the more affordable models . Tesla did n’t cite any timeline for its Tesla Bot so this is in the very early stage , making any robot apocalypse even less impendent .
