Figure Humanoid Steps Out of a Self-Driving Car and Keeps Walking, Sparking 'Last Mile' Talk
xmercury_one · x · 2026-09-15
Observers are zooming in on the footwork in Brett Adcock's silent Figure demo clip: the humanoid robot exits a self-driving vehicle and keeps walking in the open. The symbolism is straightforward—a humanoid that can disembark an autonomous car and continue on foot starts to look like the last meters of package delivery.
The clip has been widely reshared in robotics circles as a showcase of Figure's capability across the full autonomous delivery chain.
