IN CHINA THE CARMAKERS HAVE DECIDED THE NEXT PRODUCT IS THE HUMANOID ROBOT
The same lines that today bolt on car doors will be bolting arms, legs, and torsos in a few years. This is an experiment.
Chinese carmakers are moving their investment onto humanoid robots. Same as Tesla: whoever can build a car already has almost everything you need to build a robot. Motors, batteries, sensors, suppliers, software that looks and decides. The shape changes, the trade doesn’t. Not for the love of science. That’s where they see the next big margin.
Then someone says: what changes for me if in China they assemble robots instead of cars. What changes is that those robots don’t stay there. We haven’t noticed because we don’t see them. Artificial Intelligence is written in our face, on the screen we hold in our hand, yet in a browser tab. It looks like nothing is happening.
While nothing is happening, somebody is deciding who makes the next object that walks into our home after the smartphone. A humanoid robot is not an appliance, it’s an object that moves around inside of our home. In my opinion, we’ll end up buying them, of course, everybody, all of us. And how they behave will be already written by somebody else in another language.
So this isn’t the next tech trend, it is the next industrial war and it reaches all the way into our hallway.
