Elon Musk says Tesla’s robot could follow people around to stop crime

Elon Musk has said he hopes to use Tesla’s Optimus robot to follow people around in order to prevent them from committing crime.
Channeling several dystopian visions, the Tesla boss said the humanoid bots could serve as a form of Robocop that blocks what sci-fi author Philip K. Dick referred to as “PreCrime”.
Mr Elon Musk told shareholders at the firm’s annual meeting that using Optimus in this way could offer a “more humane form of containment of future crime”.His idea involves convicted criminals being stalked by an Optimus robot that would serve as a roaming security camera to deter them from committing more crime.
