The director of 2004 sci-fi film I, Robot has accused billionaire Elon Musk of copying his designs for humanoid machines and self-driving vehicles.
Much as I hate this guy, guessing he didn’t design it and it wouldn’t be hard for a humanoid robot to end up looking pretty similar to an I-robot.
Be nice to keep attention to this ass out of the news unless it’s raising awareness to the real harm he is doing.
I compared the Cybercab to the I robot car.
They don’t share the same design. All lines are different. Maybe the side windows are similar.
I don’t see the connection. The Elonbot is about as generic a humanoid robot design can be and the I, Robot one looks cool, has a face, and isn’t controlled by a human as part of some sort of investment con.
The self driving cars has no connection either. The Elonmobile looks like a smooth car and has a degree of autonomous driving and the I, Robot cars look cool, can drive up vertical surfaces, and hardly ever kills their occupants.
It’s because he called the event ‘We, Robot’. So it’s fairly obvious that he wants to draw parallels between Tesla’s humanoids and the robots within the movie.
They look like humans, I don’t Think Irobot invented humans.
Humanoid robots look like other humanoid robots? This is a nothing burger.
Sure but did u click thru? The car designs are much more questionable
They’re really not. Dude didn’t invent wing doors.
Sure. But like take all of it together. Event was called “We, Robot”. Possibly influenced by the movie “I, Robot”? Maybe. Next the humanoid robot with white features. Ok fine. Humanoid shapes are humanoid! Not so controversial. Then the car. Gull wing doors! Inb4 delorean and lamborghini. Ok fine. But the capped wheels!? Ok fine its a car they look like cars. Finally the bus looking thing?? Thats weird, looks a lot like the I, Robot bus thing. Take all this together? HMMMMMMM
gulag for everybody who thinks this is news. The guy is literally a fascist and we are supposed to be angry about how his humanoid robots look kinda human? who tf cares
Looks more like the mitchells vs the machines to me.
elon doesn’t have an original thought
Using a 2 seater with limited storage space to taxi people around is pretty original. Not good, but original.
At least he steals his ideas from good sci-fi.
Wonder who he pays to summarize them for him.
from a shitty movie extremely loosely based on good sci-fi

Can we get a break from Elon posts in here or is that too much to ask? Guess I’ll just have to turn back on my filter. it’s ridiculous
Lmao…now if Honda or whichever Japanese manufacturer is still regularly pushing these out came out and sued, I’d be more inclined to think they have some weight behind the accusation because I’m sure I’ve seen something similar before. Then again as others pointed out, they all look similar, even more so once you try to hide the wiring, hydraulics etc
Do the eyes glow red if it becomes self aware?
Musk is a douche, and these robots are vaporware waiting to happen, but;
These designs aren’t even close. Alex Proyas must be blind.
more of a miracle he didn’t copy Johnny Cab …
They were humans via remote body anyway. Who cares. Next time they have one of these bullshit demos, ask it a complicated math question like 129473626 * 6363. See how fast they answer then.

In the future your robot waiter will be a Asian working for 6 cents an hour.
Not fast enough. These were live humans responding for sure.
Reminds me of “Detroit: Become Human”.
God is suing both
