Reality Check for Tesla’s Robot Ambitions
The reports highlight the complexity of building autonomous humanoid robots and suggest Tesla may be further from achieving its ambitious goals than previously thought. The news has raised eyebrows in the tech community, with many wondering how much of Tesla’s demonstrations were real.
