velora(@veloraaivs):⚠️⚠️⚠️Elon Musk’s Tesla Optimus Is Driving on Public Roads. At first glance, it looks like another self-driving demo. It isn’t. This time, Optimus is sitting in the driver’s seat, navigating real traffic on public roads in South Korea. That raises a much bigger question. Not whether a robot can drive. But what happens when a humanoid robot becomes the one legally “operating” the vehicle. Today’s traffic laws were written for humans—not human-shaped robots. The technology is arriving faster than the rules.
