Am I missing something or was the point for those robots to be human controlled?

Tesla is trying to have disposable body parts that are remotely controlled so their workers get hurt less often due to RSI or other assembly line accidents. It’s not like they’ll fix their safety culture if the occasional robot destruction keeps volume up and injuries down.

Reference? Them being eventually autonomous has been covered in the events and his talks about the eventual AI that will drive them.

No reference, this is my personal hypothesis. Tesla still needs to squeeze profit out of all this R&D.

Eventually AI eventually could take over, sure. What I see today is they can have humans control the robots for tasks that can easily injure humans.

I've never seen that stated as a goal, even an intermediate one.
