"Tesla also disbanded the team building its "Dojo" supercomputer several weeks ago. Much touted by Musk in the past as the key to beating autonomous vehicle developers like Waymo (which has already deployed commercially in several cities), Tesla will no longer rely on this in-house resource and instead rely on external companies, according to Bloomberg. "Shortages in resources can be remedied by improved technology, greater innovation and new ideas," the plan continues."
"Then plan veers into corporate buzzwords, with statements like "[o]ur desire to push beyond what is considered achievable will foster the growth needed for truly sustainable abundance." In keeping with Musk's recent robot obsession, there's very little mention of Tesla electric vehicles other than a brief mention of autonomous vehicles, but there is quite a lot of text devoted to the company's humanoid robot."
Tesla disbanded the team building its Dojo supercomputer and will rely on external companies for that capability. The plan asserts that shortages in resources can be remedied by improved technology, greater innovation and new ideas. The plan employs corporate language about pushing beyond what is considered achievable to foster growth and sustainable abundance. The document emphasizes humanoid robots far more than electric vehicles or autonomous driving. It claims monotonous or dangerous jobs can be handled by robots, while critics note industrial robots typically use non-humanoid form factors that avoid balance constraints.
