investors are loading into this company at this crazy valuation. They don't even have a customer yet. There was a little controversy. Is BMW a customer or not? Looks like BMW is in fact using them in production.

They they shared a video of that. That was still a little controversial that video. A lot of people are arguing an ARM would have been better for that job than the whole robot or What's the robot really doing? So there is still a lot of back and forth even after they shoot.

Okay, there always is. There always is with new technology, but this thing looks great. Um, it's uh stunning looking. And of course the fixed robot's gonna work better for tighter tasks, but it will ultimately not have the flexibility of going around the world. What I like about this new figure one is it has inductive charging at the feet.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
