re: Elon Musk: Robots will surpass good human surgeons within a few years

Musk has over promised and under-delivered for years. His autonomous driving claims are the obvious example.
It will get there one day, but I would be pretty surprised if surgery is regularly performed by autonomous robots.
Robot assisted surgery is already a thing though.

I hate robots.
That said, after COVID, I might take the robot.

Robotic surgery has been a thing for almost 30 years. This is just the first competitor to challenge Intuitive. Not sure why Musk is pumping it. None of these are autonomous.
I’ve owned ISRG for 20 years. My biggest regret was not making a margin call and selling in 2005. Rebought but I’d be set for life. Oh well.

It's a good ways away from being commercially available, but the design is solid and initial computer simulations look good.
Has this device cleared medical trials?

All for the low, low cost of $90,000
