The event, titled “We, Robot,” drew inspiration from the 2004 film “I, Robot,” starring Will Smith, which portrays a world where advanced robots turn on humans. The similarities between the event and the movie extend beyond the name. The autonomous vehicles and Optimus bore a striking resemblance to the technology depicted in the film.

Elon Musk unveiled the Tesla Optimus Robot, the company's new 5'8" robot that can grab your groceries, babysit your kids and make you drinks.

I, Robot' director Alex Proyas accused Elon Musk and Tesla of copying his designs for the film for the company's recently unveiled prototypes.

The Optimus Robot looks like the perfect do-it-all companion for everyday life, and here's everything you can have it do.

On Thursday night, Tesla threw a highly anticipated media event at Warner Bros. studios near Los Angeles and unveiled a prototype robotaxi that Musk calls the Cybercab. Consumers will have to wait on that one since Musk says it’s still 2-3 years away, just as it has been for the past decade.

The humanoid robots – faceless, tall figures with joint-like bends around the knees, hips, shoulders and elbows – can “basically do anything you want,” Musk said.

His most important future product was acting very much thanks to human intelligence with critics calling it a “parlor trick.”

After Tesla's planned robot products were presented, social media called out the company for aping the 2004 film, with even director Alex Proyas weighing in.
