    People are already jumping to defend it as “a preview on where technology is headed”.

    How would they know? Musk and his minions keep lying about their technology.

    How is this any different than fraudster Trevor Milton of Nikola showing footage of Nikola vehicles using gravity to go downhill, but pretending that they were a functioning concept and running on their own power?

    The video on the article is even funnier. They didn’t even mask the person’s voice, so it just sounds like a dude talking through a speaker. And he fumbled pronouncing “autonomous”.

    Not sure why Elon didn’t just call them ‘Drones’ instead of ‘Robots’ - since it’s a given that drones are human controlled with varying levels of process automation now.

      They were humans pretending to be robots, these are actually robots that are being remotely controlled, rather than being fully autonomous.
