Optimus humanoid robot
Before the man started small talk with the robot, he said he could not believe he was talking to a robot.
He asked where Optimus lived, and the machine responded. The humanoid’s intelligence was good, as it kept up the conversation.
Towards the end of their conversation, Optimus said that the hardest part about being a robot is trying to be as much human as the person he was talking to. The video was shared by @teslaownersSV.
