this just.. makes no sense. this doesn't play to Tesla's strengths or synergize with their existing R&D. Sensors for proprioceptive feedback are still immature, reinforcement learning for robotic motion is still in its infancy (Boston Dynamics did it the old fashioned way with differential equations and tons of work.) ...and you don't need any of that for cars, even with Autopilot. Turning steering wheels and accelerating is trivial compared to walking. Computer vision, sure, maybe, but that's a lot closer to solved than controlling a humanoid robot.
- boublepop 5y agoIt plays exactly to Tesla’s strengths. It’s a completely unrelated futuristic area that can be used to raise a lot of funds and act as justification for an incredibly out of touch with reality evaluation of the company. Also, all of the problems you mention are easily solved by putting Elon on a stage to tell potential investors that they’re already solved. Just like Tesla’s self driving system on the market now.
- comfysocks 5y agoI think the humanoid aspect helps lay-people (and hedge fund managers) stay confused as to what the current scope of AI is. When people see humanoids, they think AGI, not DNNs.

- sterlind 5y agono reason for that to be a humanoid. I'd be extremely surprised if construction robots looked humanoid.
