Hollywood, CA — October 31, 2024 — The future of technology took center stage at Tesla’s “We, Robot” event, where CEO Elon Musk showcased a series of groundbreaking innovations, including the humanoid robot Optimus and the eagerly awaited Cybercab robotaxi.
First introduced in a whimsical manner back in 2021, the Optimus robot has progressed from a simple prototype to an advanced machine capable of tackling everyday tasks.
