The director of 2004 sci-fi film I, Robot has accused billionaire Elon Musk of copying his designs for humanoid machines and self-driving vehicles.
elon doesn’t have an original thought
Using a 2 seater with limited storage space to taxi people around is pretty original. Not good, but original.
If you’re building a robot then the humanoid shape is a fairly good shape to use because the world is already designed for things of that shape. Doors, corridors, and staircases all assume a bipedal body of about 6 ft high. So inevitably robots are going to look humanoid.
If the robot is designed to work underwater then it probably isn’t going to look humanoid it’ll probably look like a fish but I don’t think the fish can sue.
Lmao…now if Honda or whichever Japanese manufacturer is still regularly pushing these out came out and sued, I’d be more inclined to think they have some weight behind the accusation because I’m sure I’ve seen something similar before. Then again as others pointed out, they all look similar, even more so once you try to hide the wiring, hydraulics etc
Looks more like the mitchells vs the machines to me.
Reminds me of “Detroit: Become Human”.
That’s what futuristic cars always look like. I don’t think you can sue for unoriginality.
more of a miracle he didn’t copy Johnny Cab …
Much as I hate this guy, guessing he didn’t design it and it wouldn’t be hard for a humanoid robot to end up looking pretty similar to an I-robot.
Be nice to keep attention to this ass out of the news unless it’s raising awareness to the real harm he is doing.
I compared the Cybercab to the I robot car.
They don’t share the same design. All lines are different. Maybe the side windows are similar.
God is suing both
