Share on Facebook 'Blade Runner 2049' Displayed on 'We, Robot' Event
During the event's keynote speech Elon Musk, the CEO himself referenced the "Blade Runner" movies, saying that he envisions the future not to look like these dystopian sci-fi depictions as he wants a fun one, where Cybercab sits at the center. Later, the stream flashed a photo that is reminiscent of "Blade Runner" which Alcon believes was based on their movie but was AI-generated.
It was revealed by Alcon that Tesla, Musk, and WBD initially asked for their permission to use "Blade Runner 2049" for the showcase but turned it down. However, they were surprised to see it in the showcase despite disagreeing.
Tesla's Success in 'We, Robot' Event
Tesla is known for its previous annual showcases like its famed Battery Day which was dedicated to its electric vehicle developments and the AI Day which was for its robotics and artificial intelligence. However, this year delivered a different kind of AI Day which was renamed the 'We, Robot' event but it was nothing short of a spectacular display of Tesla's latest developments.
Its recent showcase earlier this October provided the world with a list of new technologies available from the tech company which expanded more on its autonomous driving feats, including the introduction of the Cybercab robotaxi and the Robovan. The audience and the online world lauded what Tesla showcased during We, Robot, particularly as it also featured Optimus' latest capabilities.
Tesla saw significant praise from the public for what it has unveiled to the tech industry, centering on its latest take on robotaxi which was initially promised for August, and doubled it down with its retro-modern electric bus. However, during the event, Tesla displayed stills from 'Blade Runner 2049' which were allegedly AI-generated, and Alcon Entertainment wants the clean energy company and Musk to pay.
