Elon Musk warned of a ‘Terminator’-like AI apocalypse — now he’s building a Tesla robot
For years, Tesla CEO Elon Musk warned people about the dangers of AI-powered robots, even predicting “scary outcomes” like in “The Terminator.” Now, he seems to be taking matters into his own hands before humanity is overrun.
The electric vehicle company will develop a humanoid robot prototype dubbed the “Tesla Bot,” Musk announced at Tesla’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Day on Thursday. According to Musk, the prototype will be completed sometime in 2022, though the billionaire entrepreneur is known for blowing past his own publicly stated deadlines on large, flashy projects.
For example, in 2016, Musk promised full self-driving vehicles by 2018, writing on Twitter: “In ~2 years, summon should work anywhere connected by land & not blocked by borders, eg you’re in LA and the car is in NY.”
When that didn’t happen, the billionaire entrepreneur promised that Tesla would supply the roads with 1 million “Robotaxis” by 2020. Last spring, he softened his tone during Tesla’s first-quarter earnings call, noting that “punctuality is not my strong suit.”
Musk has claimed that Tesla’s autonomous vehicles will hit the market shortly after they get regulatory approval across the United States. How his robot will face regulation remains unclear, but one thing is certain: Musk insists it will be amiable.
“It’s intended to be friendly, of course,” Musk said during the Tesla Bot announcement. “And navigate through a world built for humans.”
The sentiment — and, for that matter, the entire nature of the announcement — may come as a surprise to anyone familiar with Musk’s long-standing public views on AI-powered robots.
Elon Musk calls latest Tesla FSD software update ‘not great’

After seeing what Tesla’s Full Self-Driving beta 9 is capable of, it seems CEO Elon Musk shares some owners' feelings that the latest software doesn’t exactly do what it should. In a tweet issued Monday, Musk said FSD beta 9.2 “is actually not great.” The CEO didn’t call out any specific areas of the update he thinks needs attention, but past videos show the system is still a mixed bag, at best.
FSD Beta 9.2 is actually not great imo, but Autopilot/AI team is rallying to improve as fast as possible.
We’re trying to have a single stack for both highway & city streets, but it requires massive NN retraining. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 23, 2021
Although Musk acknowledged the software isn’t where it needs to be, it’s not clear when an update may come to rectify some of the problems. The CEO said the Autopilot and artificial intelligence teams are working “as fast as possible” and added the company wants to see a single stack for both highway and city streets. This “requires massive NN retraining,” referring to Tesla’s neural network.
His comments follow two major happenings in Tesla’s world. Foremost, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a formal investigation into Tesla vehicles running Autopilot and collisions with emergency vehicles. Tesla also held its AI Day and flexed its technological muscles surrounding various systems and the future. Still, the Full Self-Driving beta, which is a $10,000 option, is not an autonomous car. Tesla and others working toward full autonomy still have a long way to go.
