I think it was fairly obvious from the show that the Optimus bots were remotely operated. Not like they tried to hide it at all. Just listen to the responses of the bots, they practically admitted that.

The cars, however, were almost certainly running the latest FSD (or some near future unreleased version).

But they did try to hide it. It's in some videos where one of them was trying not to admit they were remotely controlled and that "probably some AI is used"

Balancing or some movement mechanisms could be using AI.

Why would they, though? Aren't those doable just with flat our regular code plus isn't AI slow?

AI is a pretty broad term - its been used for generations to mean something intelligent seeming that isn't human. Certainly, computers running precompiled instructions also falls in that category.

Yeah, I wouldn't classify mechatronics or bipedal locomotion as AI. It gets blurry when considering algorithms in control systems, but I wouldn't classify those as modern AI/ML systems.
