“Tesla A-I Day” took place at Tesla headquarters in Palo Alto on Friday and featured a showcase of the company’s new advances in artificial intelligence.
The event was originally scheduled for August, but was pushed back so the Optimus prototype would be working in time. For Elon, buying these robots will be as easy as buying a car – for around $20-thousand (obviously not a Tesla) – and he thinks that could be as soon as three- to five-years.
Elon cheered “a future of abundance” ahead and added, “It really is a fundamental transformation of civilization as we know it.”
