I'd disagree, we've had 4 decades to learn how to better harden electronics in high radiation environments. off the shelf stuff? sure that would be fucked. purposely designed:

We are talking about something designed by a company owned by Musk that is already faking autonomy, The tech you write about is specialized for this line of work, and none of it is wireless, humanoid and have the processing power to work autonomously. But i'm happy that a part of this work can finally be done remotely.
wasn't opining on musks shitware. just the idea that there's no way to operate in high rad environments.
Yeah I used to work in a chip company many years ago and we had rad hardened chips that had special outer packages instead of the normal consumer ones at a minimum. They're typically used for space stuff. Still not sure how well they'd hold up in Chernobyl in fairness.
for specially designed purposes, I'd say from the links above someone's figured it out.
Yep, we do this for particle accelerators and in other extreme radiation environments all the time.
