The ability to perform complex manoeuvres with Tesla vehicles has been the focus of recent attention due to the release of Tesla's new "Bot Update" software.

But it should be noted that even the newest version of Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot makes this accomplishment look like child's play.

Plus, Atlas can perform backflips off of objects while maintaining his equilibrium as he leaps over them.
