elon doesn’t have an original thought
Using a 2 seater with limited storage space to taxi people around is pretty original. Not good, but original.
Even BMW has come out with a more original car design for an automated vehicle that has the seats facing each other and a table in the middle for a more communal experience. It also had a screen instead of a front window, because obviously if the car’s driving itself you don’t need to be able to see outside.
At least he steals his ideas from good sci-fi.
Wonder who he pays to summarize them for him.
Probably grok, another reference to classic scifi he doesn’t understand
If you’re building a robot then the humanoid shape is a fairly good shape to use because the world is already designed for things of that shape. Doors, corridors, and staircases all assume a bipedal body of about 6 ft high. So inevitably robots are going to look humanoid.
If the robot is designed to work underwater then it probably isn’t going to look humanoid it’ll probably look like a fish but I don’t think the fish can sue.
