With humanoid and quadruped robots under development, BYD is moving forward with its FinDreams Technology to take on Elon Musk's Tesla, which is betting on the revolutionary Optimus and artificial intelligence in cars. The dispute goes beyond electric vehicles and places the giants in the race for the future of automation.
The rivalry between BYD and Tesla is far from limited to the electric car market. With fierce sales month after month, the battle is now extending to the world of robotics and artificial intelligence. Elon Musk, known for his grandiose ambitions, is investing heavily in the humanoid robot Optimus, while BYD, through its subsidiary FinDreams Technology, promises to give no respite.
Will Tesla maintain its leadership in this new field, or will BYD be able to steal the spotlight with its bold strategies?
BYD vs. Tesla: A rivalry that transcends the automotive market
Tesla, in addition to being a reference in electric cars, is gaining prominence with the humanoid robot Optimus. This project promises to revolutionize both domestic and industrial activities. Optimus, which has already been tested on the Model Y assembly line, aims to be affordable, with prices between US$20 and US$30, and pave the way for a future where robots will be present in various areas of our daily lives.

BYD is no slouch. Its subsidiary FinDreams Technology has been developing cutting-edge technologies since 2003. Initially known for simple vehicles, the company is now developing humanoid and quadruped robots, similar to those of Boston Dynamics. However, BYD’s approach is different: its robots are designed for specific functions, such as factory work, with a focus on production efficiency.
Humanoid robots: A bold bet by BYD and Tesla
Tesla's Optimus promises to be more than just a factory robot. With humanoid characteristics, it seeks to integrate itself into people's daily lives, assisting with routine tasks and enhancing industrial automation. Elon Musk has already stated that Tesla sees Optimus as one of the pillars of the company's future.
While Tesla explores multifunctionality, BYD focuses on specialized robots. Its humanoids and quadrupeds are designed to optimize processes within the company's own factories, following an efficient model, but which raises concerns about the future of human employment.
Tesla is applying AI not only to robots, but also to its vehicles, such as the Cybercab. This approach allows the company to expand its technology to multiple industries, offering more integrated and intelligent solutions.
Potential of robots to optimize production
On the other hand, BYD uses AI as a tool to maximize production efficiency in its factories. With highly specialized robots controlled by intelligent systems, the brand seeks to reduce costs and increase competitiveness in the global market.
Automation has always sparked debate about the future of jobs. With the introduction of humanoid robots in factories, BYD and Tesla show that the era of factory workers may be coming to an end. But will these changes be positive for society?
Xiaomi has already demonstrated that it is possible to produce 150.000 cars per year with just 20 employees per shift, using fully automated systems. This approach serves as an example of what BYD and Tesla can achieve with their advanced technologies.
The next frontier in the dispute
The rivalry between BYD and Tesla promises to heat up even more with their foray into the world of robotics and artificial intelligence. With distinct strategies, the two giants seek to lead a revolution that can transform both the automotive industry and the job market.
So, who do you think will come out on top? Tesla, with its futuristic and multifunctional vision, or BYD, with its focused and efficient approach? The only certainty is that this battle will be as electrifying as the cars of these brands themselves.
Excellent material.
Disruptive technologies always lead to questions about “stealing jobs”, starting with the mechanical loom. However, society reorganizes itself, overcomes and evolves.
and euu are falling apart…
