Watch: Musk promises self-driving Tesla taxis, but are they safe?<\/figcaption><\/p>\n
\n

The director of 2004 sci-fi film I, Robot has accused billionaire Elon Musk of copying his designs for humanoid machines and self-driving vehicles.<\/p>\n

At a Tesla event on Thursday, Musk unveiled Tesla’s futuristic Cybercab, complete with winged doors and no steering wheel or pedals<\/a>, and a new look at its Optimus robots.<\/p>\n

But the “We, Robot” showcase, playing on the title of an Isaac Asimov short story collection, also caught the eye of I, Robot director Alex Proyas.<\/p>\n

The filmmaker, whose film stars Will Smith as a detective sceptical of seemingly obedient androids, accused Musk of copying his work in a post on X.<\/p>\n

“Hey Elon, can I have my designs back please,” Proyas said in a post viewed 6.4 million times<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
