Core Product Principle
Optimus should not be a household robot with safety added as an optional feature.
It should be a human-protection robot with Crisis Intervention built in as a standard function — that also happens to do household tasks.
Before folding laundry, Optimus should save lives.
@elonmusk Will Crisis Intervention Mode come standard on Optimus for domestic and workplace violence?
Detect, record, intervene, protect, and call for help.
And not only violence:
medical emergencies, intruders, fire, gas leaks, falls, and other life-threatening situations.
Optimus could detect danger, protect people, and call the right emergency service automatically.
