Tesla CEO Elon Musk says the humanoid android is being made to work in a world made by and built by humans. It will perform tasks that many consider dangerous, boring, or repetitive. The android itself will be 5’8″ and weigh 125 pounds. Its head will serve as a display to show information. It will also have eight cameras.

He also stated that the android should handle tasks such as picking up groceries or turning a wrench without being trained to do so line by line. He believes that physical activities for humans will become a choice in the future rather than a necessity. For that reason, he will use neural net programming. Musk further said, If the company get successful in bringing the android, it will affect our society a lot. First of all, it will take over jobs from humans. Those kinds of future scenarios have been watched in tons of science fiction stories, movies, and TV shows for decades. Also, it will lessen the need for humans and will bring pessimism if people start depending on this android. Anyways, it is a bit too early to say anything about this technology. Initially, it will be so expensive that not everyone will be able to buy this. Recommended Reading: Mercedes-Benz Confirms the Electric EQS will cost over $100,000
