    Humanoid robots is a fucking idiotic idea. It’s just a massive waste. You make it the shape that works best for the task it’s used for.

    He might as well say that the future of lawn care is 1950s scifi humanoid robots that push traditional lawnmowers instead of just using those lawnmower roomba things.

      The next wave needs to be more flexible to weird stuff than current purpose robots are. What that looks like though nobody knows yet. Some on Robotics have ideas but what will really work is unknown.

    We want to create humanoid robots, says BMW. Because the current grifter CEO finds them cool i guess.

      Robots are everywhere in the factories. They don’t look like humans

    Should rather make electronic cars instead of fuel gussler and save their own ass

      Agreed. I think the Strait of Hormuz should make for a great lesson in energy independence.

        Or the ban of fossile fuel cars by EU or that their companies are dying and only buy e-cars.

        But to think so you’d have to be a rational thinking person and not short term profit oriented like they are

    BMW owners continue their trend of giving other human beings the finger.

    BMW, like most other businesses these days, destroys it’s customer base.

    The folks at FuckCars says thanks.

      They both suck. Some of the most expensive and unreliable cars on the market for 30+ years. Less a car, more a status symbol for people with deep pockets.
