Tesla has sent out invites for its annual AI day event -- this year being its second iteration. At the event, Tesla is expected to be talking about the progress it has made with its FSD programme for autonomous driving, its ambitious Tesla Bot which will be a humanoid robot and its Dojo Supercomputer project. The event will happen on September 30 exactly one week from today.
“You’re invited to attend AI Day 2022 on September 30 in Palo Alto, CA. You’ll learn about Tesla’s latest developments in artificial intelligence, including Full Self-Driving, Tesla Bot, Dojo, and more,” said Tesla in the invite.
This event is not too dissimilar from WWDC for Apple which is more focused on developers than end consumers. Don’t expect a product launch per se here and that is something Elon Musk has generally hinted at already.
Last year, at AI Day, Tesla unveiled the plans for the Dojo Supercomputer and also unveiled its own chipset architecture for the same. It also announced plans for the Tesla Bot which is being called Optimus internally.
Elon Musk has said before that we could see a working prototype of the Optimus Bot which will be very impressive as many experts in the robotics space have scoffed at Elon Musk’s overtures toward this space.
Tesla could also share information around its FSD beta as it had plans to have 1 million robotaxis by the end of this year. So far, it has only managed 1 million users on the FSD beta programme which is widely different from a finished product. And many people aren’t happy with the progress Tesla has made with its self-driving technology, including regulators.
