Tesla showcases Optimus robot walking autonomously in new video

Tesla has released a new video showing its Optimus humanoid robot walking autonomously outside, marking a significant development in its capabilities. This follows previous updates on the robot's progress, which has included limited use in Tesla's factories. CEO Elon Musk has described Optimus as a potential multi-trillion-dollar opportunity, with plans to produce millions of units annually. The expected price for the robot is between $25,000 and $30,000, with sales possibly starting next year. Despite the advancements, some skepticism remains regarding Tesla's transparency about the robot's capabilities. Comparisons have been made to earlier videos from Boston Dynamics, highlighting that similar achievements have been accomplished in the past.
