Yes, Figure is able to work independently. It can identify objects in the scene, complete tasks, and interact socially with humans. It is not clear from the video if the Tesla Wii robot can do the same things as Figure. The video does not provide any specific details about the robot's capabilities. However, the speaker does mention that the robot was able to interact with people in a seemingly natural way, and it was able to adapt to people's movements and interactions with it in real time. This suggests that the robot may have some similar capabilities to Figure. However, it is also important to note that the video does not definitively prove that the Tesla Wii robot is fully autonomous. The speaker expresses their uncertainty about this, and it remains an open question whether the robot is truly capable of independent thought and action. Here are some specific details from the video that support the idea that the Tesla Wii robot may not be fully autonomous: The speaker mentions that the robots may be using pre-recorded responses or scripts. The speaker observes that the robots seem to struggle with understanding complex questions or following long conversations. The speaker points out that the robots' movements can sometimes appear jerky or unnatural, suggesting that they are being controlled by a human operator. Overall, while the video showcases impressive advances in robotics, it does not definitively prove that the Tesla Wii robot is fully autonomous. More information would be needed to draw a definitive conclusion about its capabilities.
how is it impressive??? they have been making robots like this for a while now. without true AI and the robot operating independently of human control this isn't that impressive at all
Not sure why so many TH-camrs thought these were not teleoperated. In other videos as soon as I heard the voices I knew it was human assisted. Their responses didn't sound like AI at all.
Because Elon didn’t say that. Lie by omission. Of course when the product presented is a robot, you expect it to be a robot unless something else is stated.
5 comments already, and lots of likes is why... it's called marketing. Creating 'buzz'. Same as how all the pictures and videos will be more effective at turning heads than any advertisement. Everyone from Top Gear to that one guy that Tom in accounting knows was there. All truths will come out if you have enough people reporting on it. Yeah, there are a few people that will skew or distort. But there were so many people there that the reality will shine through.
Exciting to see what the future holds for us. Easy to be disappointed that this is always around the corner. But let’s not forget we already are living future of five years ago. The improvement is incremental but progress is being made!
People are just getting used to amazing things and it takes more and more to impress us. I can remember the 90's before the internet, smart phones, having all movies and music ever made available at my fingertips whenever I want it, and walking robots. If I would have had a glimpse back than of what 2024 would be like I probably would not believe it. It is only going to get faster from here, now that AI is coming.
5 years ago people bought teslas at double MSRP because of the marketing campaigns that FSD will drive it as a taxi when you're not using so it'll make you money. that shit never happened and probably won't because FSD is glorified cruise control at best and smoke and mirrors at worst
@@DurandsDesigns For sure. We are living in the crazies times yet for technology, and it's only going to continue accelerating! I feel so blessed to have been born just in time to grow up with home computing and will likely live to see the end of the human species at the hands of AI. What a privilege! 😄
It was great seeing you there, Chris! Sorry you didn’t get to ride the new RoboTaxi. I didn’t get to either, but we did kinda bypass the line for a Model Y robo taxi ride. Super cool!
I would actually argue that the mechanical Part is the "easy" part for the Robot. The automation is the crazy hard part. AI Models will help, but it is alot of work. Still very impressive.
Experts have gone back and forth on it. A year ago the fast pace of progress with AI had them thinking the hardware would take longer. At this moment, it looks like it's back to software as the limiting factor.
Watching the Optimus being controlled remotely and especially the lean-in when he couldn't hear you made me think... They guy controlling it feels like he's there with you. These would be AMAZING tools for disabled people, who find it impossible to get out and about, to control, perhaps by Neuralink, and be able to pop down to the shops or just go and have a look around, for THEMSELVES, without needing a fully autonomous robot to do it for them. It might actually be more beneficial and fun to keep this functionality even when they are fully autonomous.
@@TheVanillaaaSky Not really. A Black Mirror scenario would be more like sitting at home and thinking you're controling a robot but actually learning that the robot doesn't exist and you've been interacting with a simulation all along!
Thanks for the VIDEO!! So glad you filmed the Optimus stating that it was being controlled by a human.. So much misinformation out there about the Bots being autonomous.
Thank you for making this video. I hope they invite you to all events in the future so you can report. There were too many idiots uploading videos and apparently not understanding that it was teleoperated. You took amazing shots, showing it walking, honest conversation with somebody who sounded like an engineer and actually clear shots of everything else. Until seeing your video I didn't even know the bus has glass at the front.
I wouldn't call them idiots. Most people are unfamiliar with optimus, it's current level of autonomy vs what has been been made available to the public, or they dont know that it can be remotely operated.

The operator-controlled Optimus bots are extremely impressive on their own, and even more so if you consider what is required to pull the operator control off. It is (probably) like using a wireless Meta Quest, except with a many many times the user inputs with a highly specialized capture rig, some sort of haptic feedback system (maybe?), and your camera feed goes through Starlink. All of this done in near real time. Each one of those is hard to pull off, and Tesla did all of those. That deserves some serious respect.
And the physical dimensions of the operator won't actually be the same as the robot. They were clearly switching between tele operating them and doing pre-programed moves, but it wasn't clear to me which was which all the time. Like when the robot was holding a glass and pulling the tap to get the drink out the tap was that a human tele operator or was the robot doing that task? How do you grasp a tap if your physical dimensions are different from the robot? I guess you can do it, but it's pretty clever.
You have to have the front bumper camera because it is covering a blind spot. That's why ASS goes backwards a little sometimes before it goes forward. It's not to drive over toddlers and puppies.
It doesn't go backward anymore in the newest version, and it starts moving much sooner after hitting the button - much less time waiting on "preparing" before it starts.
The Robovan isn't necessarily you and strangers. You can hire it up to haul your big family around for the day, or take you and a group of friends on a night out.
It's clearly not a real thing. It was a couple of inches off the ground to hide whatever was underneath. It would snap in half going over a speedbump if that's actually the real design.
I am terrified about the idea of fully autonomous optimus robots, although I am excited for the future of it. But I like the idea of remote controlled ones like today - just imagine the benefits it has for store security, police force - there can be a real human presence at a scene without putting a humans life at risk
Thanks Chris. Very cool. Sorry that you didn't have a chance to ride in a Cybercab. Optimus is cool. I also think the interactive ones are remotely operated🤔 Still amazing tech! Here's a thought. What if we had the remote operator ability to connect to a Optimus somewhere else in the world? You could visit people inside their Optimus robots. It could be like this, "Hi Chris. Great to see you again. Fold the laundry over there. Bring me a beer and watch out for the cat. The game starts in 5 minutes" 🤣

One point about the CyberCab that wasn't mentioned in most videos' is that it's rear wheel drive only. I ask one of the Tesla engineers at the static display, and he said cost considerations lead them to a single motor design. When ask about northern climates, where AWD would be useful, he said that's where you use a Model Y AWD "RoboCabs". Sounds like your Tesla user profile for temp, tunes, etc. will be provided to CyberCab, and also use phone Bluetooth proximity to identify "hailing cab rider" and open door upon approach.
This got me thinking since the robots are not 100% AI and they’re being controlled by as humans and Elon Musk wants to go to mars, I believe he’s taking the robots to the mars first. Just a theory. Literally you could take the robots anywhere in the universe.
Chris, would have loved to say hi! I heard from others that you were there but never saw you. Ironically, I was standing in front of RoboVan as you videoed the front. Sorry you didn't get a ride in the CyberCab, but the ride was very similar to the Autonomous Model Y, except the auto-door closing upon buckling the seatbelt was neat on the CyberCab and the 24 in. screen was impressive but had same UI as autonomous Model Y.
I wanted to say the exact same thing. I started to watch other participating YT'ers, but they were through the roof... and I hate it. Didn't even watch them to the end.

I'm very sorry for you that Tesla put you in an overflow viewing area and you couldn't get a Robotaxis ride. But your video is still very insightful. Thsnks for sharing!
The van seems very low to the ground. I assume maybe it lowers down for loading and raises up for travel but didn't hear it mentioned in any of the videos. I think both vehicles look great though!
Well what’s great about this is insurance can’t take advantage of us anymore if everybody own a smart car. Because they all interact with each other and drive safely
I cannot wait to see advanced robot fighting rings, like the movie: Real Steel in a way. Even though theyre controled, its still impressive and could be very useful.
You said you feel sorry for the robots that are trapped in the fishbowl dancing what about the actual people that are controlling those robots that have to stand somewhere and dance for hours? They are probably in an empty room or an office space in one of the buildings behind you. Thanks for posting this it's one of the best I've seen.
This leads us into era of Irobot, Star wars and back to future, so bit underplayed, wished they demoed like these movies, robots dropping from choppers....😊
Ill be extremely impressed when i see a robot take on the likes of Michael Jordan in a basketball game. In fact i think it would a great challenge to all robot manufacturers in the future. Have a team made up of the most advanced robot ,one from each manufacturer then play a pro team once a year.
10:30 The robotics are indeed important, but not the most important. ChatGPT, as you mentioned, is not intelligent, it just generates very clever text. The hard part her is in connecting the reasoning from the brain to movements, so a robot can autonomously "do the dishes" or "park a car". It is indeed impressive Tesla can produce robots with actuators as good as these, but the non-trivial part right now is to demonstrate how these robots can reason descriptive tasks into real world tasks. Time will tell.
Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!
I guess people don't get just how strong robots can be. They have many handlers so that people don't get to close and if it turns then they get knocked out! I still am on the fence about the whole owning one might be. I was the gen when Termintaor came out and freaked us all out. Of course, way way back then we thought stuff like this was only a dream. I watched the Jetsons growing up on Saturday mornings. Guess the next thing will be flying cars?? Oh 😂 wonder how many robots will be named "Rosie" if I ever do have one.. mine will be. But on SS or like myself right now..SSD I don't see me having a few 10 grand to throw down. 🤷♀️
I wanted to see the list of games that were available, who doesn't play with the UI during the drive? It's the same thing as FSD basically so why not check out the interface which is actually new.

Bro, that robot is gonna take my job at the gigafactory. Hell yeah.
One point about the CyberCab that wasn't mentioned in most videos' is that it's rear wheel drive only. I ask one of the Tesla engineers at the static display, and he said cost considerations lead them to a single motor design. When ask about northern climates, where AWD would be useful, he said that's where you use a Model Y AWD "RoboCabs". Sounds like your Tesla user profile for temp, tunes, etc. will be provided to CyberCab, and also use phone Bluetooth proximity to identify "hailing cab rider" and open door upon approach.
Quite a show there. Holleywood movies are great but what is even greater is experiencing it in real life. Welcome to Waymo!
This is not paid by Waymo!
That's the next video 😜
This got me thinking since the robots are not 100% AI and they’re being controlled by as humans and Elon Musk wants to go to mars, I believe he’s taking the robots to the mars first. Just a theory. Literally you could take the robots anywhere in the universe.
Optimus moves so good now
Chris in ma hood! Can't wait to see the RaBOvin bumping down your dirt road. Great reporting. Good Cybercab details
"The seats look really wide, makes sense in America" 😅
At 6:03 you can see the camera between the wheel and the door. It has a red tint so it looks like it's using Hardware 4. Cool to see.
Chris, would have loved to say hi! I heard from others that you were there but never saw you. Ironically, I was standing in front of RoboVan as you videoed the front. Sorry you didn't get a ride in the CyberCab, but the ride was very similar to the Autonomous Model Y, except the auto-door closing upon buckling the seatbelt was neat on the CyberCab and the 24 in. screen was impressive but had same UI as autonomous Model Y.
Thanks for accurately reporting and not being a sycophantic fan boy. Cults freak me out.
I wanted to say the exact same thing.
I started to watch other participating YT'ers, but they were through the roof... and I hate it. Didn't even watch them to the end.
A lot of hate these days from the tolerant left
@@drummerdoingstuff5020
Oh, poor thing. Did someone step on the feet you're kissing? 😅
Instead of going all political, why don't you come with a valid argument?
Did you not hear the hallelujahs in the crowd hailing the almighty Elon?
Do you know what a cult is?
We love Tesla - that's why we are here, right? But critical thinking should be part of our lives, especially in these times.
@@jsjs6751 didn’t notice, and dont really care.. lol I’d go as far saying you appear to be more involved and emotionally invested than me but go on with proving my point..
@@tonycatsup2175 I don’t disagree that there’s a cult like following with Elon, however it doesn’t effect me one bit. Just noticed a lot of hate for Elon since the assassination attempt.. interesting
i also have tried anker's wireless mics, that's exactly what happened, sudden lost of the transmission of the voice. Recommend you switch to DJI or Rode
Robotelepresence is still something that could have revolutionary benifits before autonomy.
Imagine you get in on the robovan and someone silently farts that smells hella bad.
That'd be a nice trip with 19 different strangers.💀
“When can I take you home?”
Like on a date?🤣
That was the Top Gear chief editor guy Jack Rix sitting in the Robovan with Franz. They have a youtube video up too.
Impressionante. 😱. 👍😃👍❤️🇧🇷 Brasil. ❤
I'm very sorry for you that Tesla put you in an overflow viewing area and you couldn't get a Robotaxis ride. But your video is still very insightful. Thsnks for sharing!
Sensory sensors should be equipped not only on your hands but also on your entire body
why no visualization on the screen? even just existing fsd
The guy going in the cyber bus is from top gear, if you see the top gear video he was talking with franz
The van seems very low to the ground. I assume maybe it lowers down for loading and raises up for travel but didn't hear it mentioned in any of the videos. I think both vehicles look great though!
You're never going to see that thing again anyway. It'll go in the hole where they keep the Las Vegas Loop autonomous bus.
The bot movements are smooth
They have a way to go, but these were all Gen 2 Teslabots. The standalone moving hand shown in the video, is the Gen 3 hand with much more dexterity.
Aside from those audio dropouts nice video - perhaps factory reset your Samsung will fix it 😉
The car design is like 80's futurism.
Great report, thanks man
Well what’s great about this is insurance can’t take advantage of us anymore if everybody own a smart car. Because they all interact with each other and drive safely
not sure why but this whole video makes me want to move to the mountains
I thought it was amazing...I want to buy an Optimus now
Тесла🙏✌🤝
This car deserves a wheel, but i like that it can drive without.
Let's just remember the movie with Bruce Willis, Surrogate, and forget how "bad" it seemed for some that the Optimus were remotely controlled.
As if the roads aren’t congested enough already, now we gonna have cars with no one in them or a robot driving it to the freaking store 😂
What's the difference if someone is in it or not? You think robots will be out Joy riding like humans?
I cannot wait to see advanced robot fighting rings, like the movie: Real Steel in a way. Even though theyre controled, its still impressive and could be very useful.
You said you feel sorry for the robots that are trapped in the fishbowl dancing what about the actual people that are controlling those robots that have to stand somewhere and dance for hours? They are probably in an empty room or an office space in one of the buildings behind you. Thanks for posting this it's one of the best I've seen.
This leads us into era of Irobot, Star wars and back to future, so bit underplayed, wished they demoed like these movies, robots dropping from choppers....😊
Lol, they really pulled out all the stops, a huge set, traveling bands, robotaxis, how are they going to top this!?
Reminds me of the movie "I Robot."
Ill be extremely impressed when i see a robot take on the likes of Michael Jordan in a basketball game.
In fact i think it would a great challenge to all robot manufacturers in the future. Have a team made up of the most advanced robot ,one from each manufacturer then play a pro team once a year.
Super cool… but they look a little like one of those PAL Max robots. Iykyk
10:30 The robotics are indeed important, but not the most important. ChatGPT, as you mentioned, is not intelligent, it just generates very clever text. The hard part her is in connecting the reasoning from the brain to movements, so a robot can autonomously "do the dishes" or "park a car". It is indeed impressive Tesla can produce robots with actuators as good as these, but the non-trivial part right now is to demonstrate how these robots can reason descriptive tasks into real world tasks. Time will tell.
"the two seats look really wide.... makes sense in America"
💀☠
VR Chat avatars, but in the real life 🤣🤣
What confuses me is Elon always said they wouldn't be purchasable as the idea was having less cars on the road
Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!
"Assisted by a human" is a funny way to say "I'm not a robot at all, I'm a puppet"
It is still technically a robot, just not an autonomous robot.
redditor please go back
@@dadgamer9884 ?
@@GForceAce not you man, the op
@@dadgamer9884 oh, ok
I guess people don't get just how strong robots can be. They have many handlers so that people don't get to close and if it turns then they get knocked out! I still am on the fence about the whole owning one might be. I was the gen when Termintaor came out and freaked us all out. Of course, way way back then we thought stuff like this was only a dream. I watched the Jetsons growing up on Saturday mornings. Guess the next thing will be flying cars?? Oh 😂 wonder how many robots will be named "Rosie" if I ever do have one.. mine will be. But on SS or like myself right now..SSD I don't see me having a few 10 grand to throw down. 🤷♀️
Dacă îl împinge cineva,cade jos?😮 Cât ține bateria la robotu ala?😊
I wanted to see the list of games that were available, who doesn't play with the UI during the drive? It's the same thing as FSD basically so why not check out the interface which is actually new.
can’t wait until they put chatgpt in it
Lmao hearing this dude commentate right behind people was hilarious.
