He envisions AI performing all cognitive tasks, raising questions about human roles. Musk also predicts Tesla's Optimus robots will become a significant product in history. Elon Musk says that Tesla will be 100x safer than human drivers... this year... the company feels confident that it'll be 10x safer than a human driver, and then 100x safer, until we get to the point where they "really just won't crash". During the interview, SpaceX, Tesla, and X boss Elon Musk said: "In about three months, basically Q2 of this year, we feel confident of passing, having a probability of an accident that is better than the average experienced driver. And then we'll keep going from there. I think it's going to be 10 times safer than a human driver. And then 100 times safer - like, to the point where it really just won't crash. That's happening this year with Tesla". Tesla's fleet of vehicles are powered with AI, with Elon saying that AI will be able to do everything -- so what will humans do? He replied, saying: "AI will do anything you want and even suggest things you never even thought of. So, I mean, AI really within the next few years will be able to do any cognitive task. It obviously begs the question, what are we all going to do?"
