'I, Robot' Director Slams Elon Musk For Ripping Off Film's Designs

The resemblance of Tesla's newest designs, unveiled by CEO Elon Musk, didn't go unnoticed — nor appreciated — by 'I, Robot' director Alex Proyas.

Also starring Bridget Moynahan and Alan Tudyk, the plot unfolds as Smith’s technologically averse detective character is called to investigate the suspicious suicide of a U.S. Robotics founder. On Thursday, Musk led Tesla’s “We, Robot” event, held at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, Calif., which had initially been scheduled for August but was pushed back to October following a need for tech modifications. While the highlight of the night was the unveiling of the Cybercab, with its wing-like doors and lack of steering wheel and pedals, Musk also revealed the Robovan, a glorified bus that self-drives and can transport goods and/or up to 20 people.
