Musk sees Tesla's robotaxis as working for their owners, making them money while they sleep.
Optimus robots, he says, will be so sophisticated they can serve as factory workers or babysitters, in today's market environment.
In June, Tesla began testing a robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, which operates in a limited area with a human valet on board.
The service is accessible only to select riders, generally Tesla and Musk enthusiasts.
Moreover, "We will further imve and expand the service (more vehicles covering a larger area, eventually without a safety rider) while testing in other U.
Cities in anticipation of additional launches," Tesla said in the holder deck, reiterating prior statements.
The company is way behind Alphabet's Waymo, which has commercial robotaxi services running in several U. , including Austin.
Tesla's robotaxi rollout is seen by bulls as a positive sign for the company, but Bank of America analysts cautioned in a recent report that it would have "immaterial financial ramifications" in the near term.
