It sure seems like the Optimus robots at Tesla's event were under human control (electrek.co)

The thing is, having a walking robot chassis that could be built to run autonomously isn't impressive. Those have existed for some time; Honda had Asimo walking around in the year 2000. The hard part is the software and there is no evidence that they've achieved anything there, which basically makes this all vaporware.

Especially after promising self driving for a decade and then giving this little demo. It doesn't give much confidence for the robot to her autonomous anytime soon.
