Well,

Humanoid robotics will advance very quickly.

I think we do have some of the Tesla Optimus robots doing simple tasks in the factory.

Except probably later this year, by the end of this year, I think they'll be doing more complex tasks.

And it's still deployed in an industrial environment.

And probably sometime next year, I'd say, by the end of next year, I think we'd be selling humanoid robots to the public.

That's when we are confident that it's very high reliability, very high safety, and the range of functionality is also very high.

You can basically ask it to do anything you'd like.

Yes, the Tesla full self-driving software, we update it sometimes once a week.

And recently some of the insurance companies have said that it is actually so safe, Tesla full self-driving is so safe that they're offering customers half-price insurance if they use Tesla full self-driving in their car.

But I think self-driving cars is essentially a solved problem at this point.

And Tesla's rolled out a sort of robo-taxi service in a few cities and will be very widespread by the end of this year within the U.S.

And then we hope to get supervised full self-driving approval in Europe hopefully next month.

Really, that quickly?

Yeah, and then maybe a similar timing for China, hopefully.

Talk to us about the automation and AI, how it's changing the economics in building and preparing for us in operating in space.

Sure.

Well, the key breakthrough that tells, the major breakthrough that SpaceX is hoping to achieve this year is full reusability.

So no one has ever achieved full reusability of a rocket, which is very important for the cost of access to space.

We've achieved partial reusability with Falcon 9 by landing the boost stage.
