Musk allegedly showcased an AI-generated image for 11 seconds during the Cybercab event, attempting to explain its relevance to the new vehicle concept.

Alcon Entertainment has initiated a lawsuit against Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk, along with Warner Bros. Discovery, alleging copyright infringement concerning AI-generated images from the film 'Blade Runner 2049.'

The lawsuit expresses Alcon's desire to dissociate from Musk due to his controversial political views and public persona, which they deem problematic.

While the lawsuit does not specify the damages sought, it asserts that Musk, Tesla, and Warner Bros. Discovery were aware of the unauthorized use of the film's imagery.

Alcon claims it was not informed about a partnership deal between Tesla and Warner Bros. Discovery until the day of the robotaxi unveiling, which included promotional elements linking Tesla products to WBD movies.

Director Alex Proyas of 'I, Robot' has publicly challenged Musk on social media, asking for the return of his designs, further complicating Musk's relationship with Hollywood.

Musk's success with the Cybercab is crucial as he faces scrutiny over previous unfulfilled promises regarding autonomous vehicle technology.

Despite the excitement surrounding the robotaxi event, Tesla's stock dropped nearly 9%, indicating investor disappointment.

The presentation, streamed globally, included images that closely mirrored scenes from 'Blade Runner 2049,' leading to significant viewer exposure and scrutiny.

The image presented at the launch featured a man in a trench coat exploring a dystopian landscape, closely resembling a scene from 'Blade Runner 2049'.

During the robotaxi launch, Musk referenced 'Blade Runner 2049,' which raises legal questions about the use of the film's imagery in promoting Tesla's fully autonomous vehicles.

The outcome of the lawsuit could take months or years, adding another layer of controversy to Musk's ambitions in the self-driving vehicle market.
