humanoid robots will never have the sort of impact elon bellows about. for the exact same reasons he never built his $25k car.
these robots will never cost less than the price of a car. if they were ever priced as inexpensive as people believe they will be (sub $5000) there’s simply no profit to be made. and at the prices that they will need to charge, the economics simply aren’t strong enough to merit millions and millions of them out there doing menial tasks. There’s already robots doing so many labor-intensive jobs. If robots could make pizza, clean a house, run errands, it would already be happening.
