According to Kim Kardashian, the newest Tesla technology is “insane.”
The reality TV personality and businesswoman gave followers a sneak view at the new Tesla Cybercab and Optimus AI robot, which founder Elon Musk recently debuted, in a sequence of videos that she uploaded to her Instagram Story on Monday.
Kardashian shared a video of herself playing rock, paper, scissors with Optimus, a human-sized artificial intelligence robot that Musk claimed “can babysit your kids” or assist with household chores.
However, the technology was controlled by handlers rather than the robots themselves when they made their debut last month. Kardashian’s Instagram videos did not make it apparent if a handler was there or if the robot was working alone.
Along with waving and making running motions, the Optimus robot also acted out a Hula dance in Kardashian’s Instagram Stories. There is only one robot like that, she added in a video showing a completely golden model. She also gave X access to a few of the videos.

Following the robot’s demonstration to followers, the movie cuts to the interior of the self-governing Tesla robotaxi, which is devoid of pedals and a steering wheel.
“The Cybercab is insane. It kind of looks like the rims on my silver Cybertruck,” In the video, she mentions her Tesla truck and remarks. “Wait so you just get in and there’s no driver?”
You hear someone off-screen affirming that “there’s no driver.”
Kardashian’s videos concluded with a view of the Cybercab’s inside. Although it’s unknown if she intends to buy the car or the robot, she has already shown support for Musk and Tesla by releasing pictures of her own customized Cybertruck soon after their announcement.

According to reports, Tesla has been using its staff in the San Francisco region to test its robotaxi service. While rival Waymo’s autonomous vehicles are now on the road, transporting paying customers throughout many cities, Tesla’s ambitions for a robotaxi are still in the early stages of development.
Musk has stated that when the robotaxi is released into the market, it will be reasonably priced, around $30,000. However, the precise timeframe is still unclear.
