People are already jumping to defend it as “a preview on where technology is headed”.

How would they know? Musk and his minions keep lying about their technology.

Musk is a pathological liar

Only a couple years away man! Self driving cars, living on Mars, so close!

That’s like if i made a presentation and showed back to the future 2 and said: well, that’s how our hoverboards will look and function

How is this any different than fraudster Trevor Milton of Nikola showing footage of Nikola vehicles using gravity to go downhill, but pretending that they were a functioning concept and running on their own power?

All that money and engineering to have a human still needed to do the job of a human lol.

Didn’t the Chinese already did this a few months back? XD

They were humans pretending to be robots, these are actually robots that are being remotely controlled, rather than being fully autonomous.

It bugs me just saying “the Chinese” did it. It was the Chinese company Ex-Robot.

The fact that this obvious liar and fraudster is the worlds richest human has just broken my brain. My god humans are stupid.

Unfortunately, that’s how you get there. Lying and harming people.

oh, I get it. the target of my ire isn’t just elmo, it’s the fact that so many smoothbrains can’t see the naked truth.

Lonnie is a liar. TLDR.

The video on the article is even funnier. They didn’t even mask the person’s voice, so it just sounds like a dude talking through a speaker. And he fumbled pronouncing “autonomous”.

To be fair, modern AI voices sound pretty real. Making it artificial would have been a tell in it’s own right.

Not sure why Elon didn’t just call them ‘Drones’ instead of ‘Robots’ - since it’s a given that drones are human controlled with varying levels of process automation now.
