Switching gears, the discussion shifts to Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, which showcased its ability to traverse different terrains in a recently released video. Brian pointed out the advancements in the robot's design, including the pivoting movements of its feet that enhance its navigation over varied environments. While he acknowledges this progress, he notes that similar feats were accomplished by competitors like Boston Dynamics years ago.
The conversation touches upon the timing of these demonstrations, with Tesla strategically withholding showcases of their advancements to prevent giving competitors an edge. The guest praises these developments but also highlights the need for transparency in understanding the timeline of Mechanism improvements.
