CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, announced its company is designing a human-like robot that will launch on the market sometime next year.
The Tesla Bot will be a 125 pound, 5'8" robot. The robot is being constructed to one day complete the dangerous, boring and repetitive tasks that humans often don't want to do. From wrenching cars, or completing grocery runs - those are the types of tasks the brand envisions its bot one day completing. It also anticipates that the bot will be able to work alongside humans.
As individuals grow concerned about the dangers of AI, Elon Musk has assured the public that this humanoid bot will not be dangerous. The company does not anticipate that the Tesla Bot will ever overpower a human.
