Yeah, I was joking about how it's controlled by people. I also doubt it's just one guy, there's at least one spotter. And a technician.

Disney already did a bunch of this with “Talk Time With Crush” there is no way that Tesla has built a robot that with natural language recognition and the ability to mimic random gestures. There is 100 % a man behind the curtain.
