Now we look to the future.  At Tesla's AI day event, Elon Musk announced they are developing Tesla Bot, a humanoid robot, life size. It's a slim human-like machine.  The body is white with gray accents from its feet to where its collarbones would be then it's all black. Musk shared a couple of slides showing what to expect from the Tesla Bot.  He assures that his creation will be friendly and navigate a world that's built for humans.

It will be able to carry 45 pounds or deadlift a 150 pounds.  A little bit of reassurance is that the Tesla bot is not fast. It reaches speeds of up to 5 miles per hour. Musk joked that you could actually run away from it and if necessary overpower it. The head would feature a screen to provide information to whomever is looking at the bot and uses Tesla's full self-driving computer with an autopilot sys...
