Kim Kardashian Tests Tesla's Optimus Robot and Driverless Cybercab in Exclusive Preview
Kim Kardashian recently showcased Tesla's latest technological innovations through a series of Instagram Story videos, featuring interactions with the Optimus AI robot and a preview of the autonomous Cybercab.
The reality star demonstrated various capabilities of the Optimus robot, including:
- Playing rock-paper-scissors
- Waving and running motions
- Performing a Hula dance simulation
Kardashian also highlighted a unique golden version of the Optimus robot, noting its one-of-a-kind status.
The video tour continued with an inside look at Tesla's autonomous Cybercab, a vehicle notably lacking traditional controls like a steering wheel or pedals. Kardashian expressed surprise at the absence of a driver, drawing parallels between the Cybercab's design and her personal Cybertruck's aesthetics.
Current Status of Tesla's Technologies:
- Robotaxi service is undergoing employee testing in San Francisco
- Expected pricing around $30,000 when released
- Launch timeline remains unspecified
- Waymo, a competitor, already operates autonomous taxis in multiple cities

While the Optimus robot demonstration was impressive, it's worth noting that previous public displays required handler operation rather than full autonomy. The level of independence in Kardashian's demonstration wasn't explicitly clear.
