Plus: Tesla's LiDAR suspense, Toyota's profit jumps, Robotaxi in China and more

Hey S3XY 🧤, Following the recent surge in Artificial Intelligence interest over the past few years, attention and investment are now shifting towards the realm of humanoid robots.
A speculative post on 'X' suggested the production of 1 billion units of 'Optimus' by 2030, a notion Elon Musk didn't entirely dismiss. Instead, he commented, "Not quite that fast, but not far wrong," implying that the humanoid robotics industry could surpass any other existing industry.

During Tesla's AI Day in September 2022, Elon Musk mentioned that once humanoid robots attain intelligence, which is realistically possible within few years given recent AI developments and unhindering compute capacity; they could significantly impact economies by unlocking potential capita. This suggests that the industry for intelligent humanoid robots could not only improve economies but also expand regardless of local capita availability.

Additionally, the widespread availability of intelligent humanoid robots at an affordable scale could alleviate various constraints associated with human labor.

And some other highlights from today’s letter 📨:

  • China Megapack factory update.

  • Xiaomi co-founder buys Tesla.

  • Nio grows swap alliance.

  • Germans against the green.
