No no-no

This type of reasoning simply does not understand the market competition. Once there is a market, the goal is to win the competition, not to hit some technical bar.

Is there a better player in the industry in building humanoid robot? I rarely see any that is better than Tesla. Modern cars are essentially a robot, or the closest thing in tech stack.

Is Musk stretching himself? Of cuz, that's how new things are created...

Boston Dynamics? They've been working on such things for years and they're still very much in their infancy.

AFAIK they were avoiding deep learning like the plague for the locomotion. I don't know if something has changed, but that's why the progress was slow.

What does better mean? I assume not the fit and finish of these "robots"
