I drove to Red Lodge and back yesterday on V12 with the menu selection of letting the car decide how fast it goes. I hadn't selected that before and it makes a big positive difference. Coming up to a single lane construction zone with a flagman, it came in a little too hot for me so I braked to a slower speed then put it back in auto. It then slowed nicely to a stop at the flagman where I was first in line. The stop sign flag with slow on the opposite side was on a stand allowing the flagman to not hold on to it. As the opposing line of cars just barely finished coming through, the flagman reached for the flag pole to turn it and even before turning it, the X (very comfortably and not slowly) started to pull around the flagman and go. Just like a human would.

Thank you guys. It is great to hear two experts discussing this complex topic - instead of a clueless "reporters" who just can't understand the concepts. You have a synergy as friends and colleagues that should be a model for technical content.

I think, Optimus will penetrate the nursing home market before the consumer home. Nursing homes can be equipped with complementary equipment and room layout to accessorize Optimus in a very controlled environment. As accessories become available (aftermarket) so the medical corporations have the $$ to invest. Optimus supervisors (RN’s hopefully) could manage so many more patients, yet provide healthier environments for patients. ER rooms also. An RN would more effectively train the bot.
Cheers from San Diego.

10:20 When it runs out of power... I recall a SciFi story - the locals used steam engines for motive power and imported chips for control. A robot serving drinks started to wobble and the owner shouted to it "Stoke you idiot! Stoke!" and it staggered over to the fireplace, and shoveled a few lumps of anthracite into its firebox to restore steam pressure! Possibilities!

“Booster Robotics br002” is the imitation that was referred to in the video by Scott.

John does a video titled "How 1X Will Beat Tesla!" and a week later he's saying "Tesla’s Optimus Will Completely DOMINATE"

[johnfitzpatrick]

Fun video, guys! Much more competition for Tesla in H-bots than self driving, where Tesla's data will be very difficult to beat.

Not only is Elon going for the factory market, he is going for his own factories first. Do other manufacturers have anything like that? Any problems Tesla encounters with Optimus in its own factories will be in house problems. Any problems encountered in other factories will NOT be in house problems. There is a world of difference.

Scott, that's gotta be the funniest, dad joke. I've heard all week the Highlander.😊❤

Good one: "Atlas shrugged"....with leaky hydraulics at that!.

[georgemaurice]

"atlas shrugged" WOW, Love it

[kstaxman]

This is the time we geeks have waited for. All the cool tech and the amazing things that are happening. It's heaven..

[jamesmcneal]

Great video, John and Scott. Keep them coming!

An order of magnitude more difficult than training a bot on a task is training a bot how to be part of a team -- a team that may include other bots and/or humans -- where there isn't a 'clean' situation. This is similar to FSD driving on a road by itself (100% solved) versus driving in the real world where stuff happens (99+% solved). This is where Optimus should excel.

@14:41 *Human:* _What do you plan on doing with that knife?_
*Robot:* _I plan to dice the vegetables, slice the potatoes, boil them, cut the bread,  sautee the steak, set the table, _
_and if you don't stop pestering me with your asinine questions, I will feed you your own liver with some _*_fava beans, _*_ while I sit back and have some _*_Chianti._*

10% head count reduction across the company might be making room for Optimus operatives!

v12.3.6 installed today. I haven't even seen a video on it. Intrigued.

[robitmcclain]

A G search gives some conflicting info on HW-4 and HW-5. Samsung is the primary producer, but Tesla was messing with TSMC chips. I suspect Samsung is working hard on power usage. I think most Tesla cameras are Samsung. Samsung building a big plant NE of Giga Texas seems important.

I'm not as worried about Optimus destroying humanity as about humanity destroying itself. In my lengthy lifetime we have come perilously close to doing that on our own. We have lived under a sword of Damocles for so many years we have come to accept it as unlikely, rather than inevitable.
Optimus may instead save us from ourselves, or at least remain behind to tell our legend.

Yes V12.2.4 is so much more polite. I did have issues with yellow green cones twice. It would stop in front of the cones and stop making me look like an idiot and I would have to wave my arms to go around me. This happen twice on the yellow green cone where some workers had painted the street. To get out I had to back up and go around the cones. There was no danger at anytime.
