Elon Musk to Develop FSD and Introduce new Dojo Supercomputer

New Delhi:- Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk confirmed Wednesday that the company is "in talks with major OEMs about introducing Tesla FSDs."Tesla's fully autonomous driving is the automaker's advanced "ADAS" beta driver assistance system.

Automate driving tasks on highways and in cities. If other automakers adopt FSD technology, they will need to integrate both Tesla's software and hardware suites. Tesla's approach to ADAS, and ultimately autonomy, is to rely solely on computer vision processing or cameras rather than an array of sensors such as lidar or radar. Musk said on Wednesday's second-quarter earnings call that Tesla would allow FSD software to be ported to new cars, but that would be in the third quarter.  

"This is a one-time pardon," Musk said, urging buyers to order in the third quarter or "within a reasonable time frame." Now the Tesla owner who spent his $15,000 on the FSD is trapped in his existing car and can't upgrade to a new model without losing access to the software.

About 400,000 Teslas now have his FSD, according to Tesla's fourth-quarter earnings report. Automakers' goal of increasing the number of vehicles that use the controversial software is purely an attempt to increase the amount of data those vehicles collect about the real-world driving environment.

Musk pointed out that having a large amount of video data is important for training the FSD to eventually reach full autonomy. The company now has 300 million miles on the FSD, a figure that "will look very low in the near future," Musk said. 

Another major reason for Tesla's pursuit of autonomy is the availability of sufficient computing power. "The fundamental limit to progress toward fully autonomous driving is education," Musk said. "If I had more training math, I could do it faster."

Tesla also announced Wednesday that it will soon begin production of its Dojo training computer. Not sure what that means exactly. Announced by Tesla at his AI Day 2021, his Dojo will be used to train Tesla's neural networks. These neural networks are used not only in the automaker's humanoid robot Optimus, but also in augmenting, training, and improving the FSD. Musk said Tesla will spend well over $1 billion on capital expenditures and research and development at Dojo.

The automaker already uses his large Nvidia GPU-based supercomputer, but his new Dojo will be custom-built using his Tesla-developed chip. Musk claimed that Dojo is capable of 1 exaflops, or 1 trillion floating point operations per second. The automaker is now promising Dojo to ship 100 exaflops by October 2024, according to a chart in Tesla's earnings report. A supercomputer with this kind of computing power would allow him to do in a second what would take a normal desktop his computer billions of years to do. 

These are very bold claims, but they should be taken with a bit of a grain of salt. Tesla needs the Dojo to perform well to deliver on its promise of bringing complete autonomy to the masses. Musk has previously said that without FSD, Tesla would be "worth zero." Because without the FSD hype and potential to actually turn Tesla into a self-driving car that can be rented as a robo-taxis, Tesla is really just an automaker.

Musk has repeatedly promised Tesla will achieve full self-driving cars by that date, and has repeatedly exceeded that deadline with partially self-driving products. Musk on Wednesday admitted the error, saying people had "rightly" ridiculed him and his overly optimistic predictions. "I know I'm the boy who screamed FSD, but I think he'll be better than a human by the end of this year," he said.

The statement comes as Tesla's regulators continue to review the safety of FSD and other ADAS, Autopilot. The latter has been associated with several accidents, many of which were fatal.
