Part 7/13:
The Future of Humanoid Robots and AI
Musk envisions humanoid robots—Optimus—becoming widespread, with the potential to transform daily life. He expects Optimus to be a household mainstay, capable of performing tasks like school pickup, guarding, and even complex teaching or companionship roles. The developmental cost is projected to decrease significantly: initial prices around $20,000–$30,000 for individual units, with long-term manufacturing costs falling below the price of a typical car.
