News Summary

• Today, the automaker has accumulated 300 million miles driven in FSD, a number that Musk said “will seem extremely small very soon.”The other main piece of Tesla’s reach for autonomy is having enough compute power.“The fundamental rate limiter on the progress of full self-driving is training,” said Musk.
• Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed Wednesday that the automaker is “in discussion with major OEMs about using Tesla FSD.”Tesla Full Self-Driving is the automaker’s beta advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) that can automate driving tasks on highways and urban streets.
• Musk said Tesla would be spending well over $1 billion on Dojo across capital expenditures and R&D.The automaker is already using a large Nvidia GPU-based supercomputer, but the new Dojo is custom-built using chips designed by Tesla.
• A supercomputer capable of that kind of compute could perform in one second what a regular desktop computer might take billions of years to compute.These are some seriously bold claims that should be taken with a grain of salt.
• “If we had more training compute, we could get it done faster.”Tesla also announced Wednesday that it would soon start production of its Dojo training computer.
• Those neural nets are used to power, train and improve FSD, as well as the automaker’s humanoid robot, Optimus.
