Tesla AI Day Spotlights Optimus Robot, Self-Driving Cars: Here's How to Watch

Tesla's artificial intelligence team is pressing forward with its plans to create humanoid robots and to eventually build truly self-driving cars. You can learn more about it at the company's second AI Day, set for Sept. 30. Expect to see some of the most advanced examples of AI technology around -- but also years more work before they're mainstream. The Tesla Bot, a humanoid robot code-named Optimus that Chief Executive Elon Musk debuted at the first AI Day, is a likely star of the show. Last year, we only saw specifications, a mockup dummy and a herky-jerky dance from someone wearing an Optimus outfit in a peculiar attempt to illustrate what the Tesla Bot would look like.
