Elon and Tesla have been working on a bunch of exciting things. They introduced their autonomous robotaxis last night. Tesla’s goal is to shift from supervised to unsupervised self-driving, where passengers can sleep while the car drives. They can do better things with their time than driving. At the same time, these smart cars will be able to reduce the # of accidents. Robotaxis will use inductive charging pads.

According to Elon, these vehicles will cost something around $30k. By having them around, parking cars can be transformed into regular parks. Elon took one of these cabs to get to the event. He also talked about Robovan, which is a large autonomous vehicle that can transport up to 20 people.
We also got to see how far the Optimus robot has come. It can now serve drinks, dance, play games, and a lot more. It will cost $20 to 30k in the future. In the future, it will be able to mow the lawn, walk dogs, fetch groceries, and work in factories.
