I don't agree with you, Fawzi. I think Musk should accelerate the manufacturing of these robots. I had three cleaning ladies, each worse than her predecessor. Unfortunately, I cannot do without for the heavier work. A robot would be a real blesing.
A good story to have covered. It could be big, but I agree with your thoughts.
Fact check: you wrote
"Low speed: The robots will have a maximum speed of 8 kph (5 mph), which is equivalent to the average human walking speed."
May want to check that out.
I think human average (typical) walking speed is much lower around 5kph (3mph). Humans are capable of doing 9kph, but even you might find it hard to sustain 8kph over a prolonged (say 1 hour) period. Try it and let me know!
Thanks Clive! The average walking speed was based on Tesla's claims during the Tesla Bot announcement. I checked to see if Google Maps would give a similar number. It showed me that it would take 13 mins to walk 1km, which is around 4.6 kph. A little less but still close. Maybe I'll go on a long walk to confirm this 😅
4.6 kph is more realistic, BUT, it’s a long way from the speed of 8 kpm which you cited as being the average human walking speed (just over half). Just try walking at 8 kpm for a sustained period of say 30 mins or even better 60 mins then perhaps you will conclude that 8 kpm is not an average human walking speed and want to edit this.

Thanks for sharing your perspective Iva. I do think that would be a valid application, unlike manufacturing.

Definitely. I've just updated it to reflect the correction and given you credit! Now we have to call Tesla and tell them to check their numbers too 😉
