Waymo: The future of autonomous driving with Vincent Vanhoucke

XPENG just shocked the world with a lifelike humanoid wrapped in flexible synthetic skin, built on a biomimetic spine and muscle system, and fronted by a curved face display. It runs a full in-house AI stack on three Turing chips (2,250 TOPS), offers customizable body types and appearances, and even uses an all-solid-state battery as it targets mass deployment by late 2026. Meanwhile, Unitree’s new G1 “Embodied Avatar” mirrors human motion in real time and is learning everyday skills from teleoperation data. And that viral “robot kidnapping” clip? New reporting confirms key parts were real — staged as a test, but filmed in an actual showroom with real robots — adding fuel to the debate over where this is all heading.

🚨 Why It Matters:
XPENG and Unitree just redefined what humanoid robots can be — one built for emotion and realism, the other for learning and embodiment. The race to create machines that move, learn, and even feel like humans has officially begun.
