If this is Tesla’s answer to robots, Boston dynamics look decades ahead.

I can see the benefits, though the nightmare scenario is always there.

Handy if you have a few too many.

Tesla's robot division, in twelve months, have made staggering progress. Boston dynamics have been at it for years.. at this rate of development, the Tesla robots will outperform Boston Dynamic in a few short years, mark my words..

I guess I'm just old-fashioned, or perhaps just old. I could swear I've seen this movie several times before.

It doesn't ever seem to end well, at least for the humans. I think it probably ROCKS for the rest of the world's creatures.

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result ............

I'll be back.

I do not like the creepy shuffling gait of these Tesla bots.
They look like they are sneaking about,up to no good.

Being a business man,I guess Elon wants everyone to own a robot-but I doubt that will improve society,rather it will just make people more lazy,more reliant on technology and speed up the resorce scarcity of the planet.

There could be a role for robots in certain areas though-to help disabled people,or to do the kinds of jobs which can destroy a persons soul-like repetitive factory work for example.

Not quite there yet though.

I just came across this video, these Tesla robots are in their infancy.

Though comparing the agility of the Boston robots is far superior, their movement is too freaking human.

Better speed and agility, though the Tesla fanboys would suck em up.

The Tesla robots may come of age though I know where my money is.

Would have been cool to see one jumping in and driving away in a Tesla.
