    Zero surgical robots stand on legs and walk around. Zero surgical robots have human-like hands. This is an impressively dumb thing to say when you are pivoting a car company to making a product where there are no real use cases. By that I mean there isn't even one example of where a currently deployed humanoid robot provides a benefit over conventional automation or human labor. It's all vaporware. And yet, line go up.

    I’m picturing the scene from Idiocracy where the “doctor” tells Joe to stick some devices in his mouth and butt, then gets them mixed up.

    Also remember, Elon predicts literally everything 3 years out. It has become next to meaningless.

    "We should be able to do 90 percent of miles driven [autonomously] within three years." — Elon Musk, Sept 2013
