Tesla's Optimus Robots Were Remotely Operated at Cybercab Event.

Tesla used human operators to remotely control some functions of its Optimus robot prototypes at a recent event, according to anonymous sources. While the robots were able to walk without external control using artificial intelligence, employees stationed elsewhere oversaw many of the interactions between the robots and attendees. Some attendees noted on social media that the robots had human assistance, which was not mentioned by CEO Elon Musk during his remarks. The use of human input raises questions about the capabilities and market readiness of the robots, which Musk has touted as potentially being "the biggest product ever of any kind."
