Elon Musk envisions Tesla as more than just an automaker; he wants it to be an AI company that pioneers self-driving technology. A key component of this vision is Dojo, Tesla’s custom-built supercomputer specifically designed to train its Full Self-Driving (FSD) neural networks. While FSD is not yet fully autonomous and still requires human supervision, Tesla believes that with increased data, computational power, and training, it can push the boundaries and achieve full self-driving capabilities.
Dojo plays a crucial role in this pursuit. Musk has been teasing the capabilities of Dojo for some time, but in 2024, he has intensified discussions about this supercomputer. Its significance to Tesla is paramount, especially as electric vehicle sales face challenges. Investors seek reassurance that Tesla can deliver on its promise of achieving autonomy, and Dojo represents a critical piece of that puzzle.
