“It will be more than a car”: Musk spoke about the “roboticization” of mankind

The founder of the aerospace company SpaceX explains in an interview how Tesla's developments for completely

Self-driving technologies will be useful in the field of robotics. As the entrepreneur stated, humanoid robots will be more common in the near future. 

Elon Musk also agrees with the interviewer thatthat by about 2050 most households will have home robots, although the improvement of artificial intelligence (AI) remains a stumbling block in this area of ​​development.

“It took me a while to understand:in order to solve the problem of self-driving, you need to create real AI, ”Musk said. When they are provided with a vehicle (“actually a robot on four wheels,” the businessman explains), it will be a big step forward. Artificial intelligence can also be applied to humanoid robots.

Musk emphasized that companies such as BostonDynamics, have already demonstrated the ability to create attractive humanoid robots, but are still far from having AI robots to help with housework. To do this, they lack real artificial intelligence so that the assistant can “navigate the real world and do useful things without explicit instructions,” the Tesla founder explains.

“Tesla is very good at this. We just need to develop specialized actuators and sensors for the humanoid robot. People have no idea that it will be more than just a machine,” Musk concludes.

The "robotization" of homes has its own dangers.Thus, the businessman warns that the world will have to work hard to avoid a dystopian scenario when it comes to AI. The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla has previously said that his other company, Neuralink, was founded in part to "mitigate the AI ​​threat."
