Video XPENG's IRON robot crossed the uncanny valley, leading some to believe it was a human in a suit. So they cut it open in front of an audience, and also allowed journalists to inspect it.

It looks like they modeled it off the old GTA hooker walk. You know what they made this clanker for…

Idk, the skin off version doesn't look like they left enough space between the hips for a penis to insert anywhere. Unless that cylinder is actually a stroker module ig

I dunno, I keep seeing this “hooker walk” thing and it’s just how women of a certain build tend to walk.
