Tesla shuts down Dojo, the AI training supercomputer that Musk said would be key to full self-driving

Tesla has shut down its Dojo AI training supercomputer project, which CEO Elon Musk had previously touted as crucial for achieving full self-driving capabilities. The move follows the departure of around 20 Tesla employees who left the company to start their own AI firm, DensityAI, focused on data center services. The Dojo project was intended to develop a powerful, custom-built supercomputer that could handle the massive amount of data required for training Tesla's self-driving algorithms. However, the company has not provided any updates on the progress or status of the Dojo project in recent months. The shutdown of Dojo and the departure of key personnel indicate a shift in Tesla's approach to autonomous driving technology development. The company has faced challenges in achieving its ambitious self-driving goals, and this move suggests a potential re-evaluation of its strategy and priorities in this space.
