Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) occasionally has themed events at which the company reveals details about its progress and plans for the future.
In 2019, Tesla held an autonomy day where the company talked about its progress in Full Self-Driving and first detailed its plans for a driverless robot taxi service.
In September 2020, Tesla held a battery day. CEO Elon Musk and others at the company talked about Tesla’s future battery technology, the new 4680 battery cells and Tesla’s plans to reduce battery costs by up to 50%.
Tesla’s shares have risen about 92% since the battery day.
Now Musk teased Tesla Day AI on twitter. This came in response to a fan who asked about the capabilities of Tesla’s Dojo supercomputer, a computer that should help train Tesla’s automatic steering software.
If the Dojo is as powerful as Tesla expects, it will be one of the most powerful computers in the world.
Maybe a Tesla AI day later this year
– Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 9, 2021
Benzinga’s opinion: It is not clear what information would be shared at the event. Musk expects Tesla vehicles to reach level five of autonomous driving by 2021. If that happens, it would mean that a Tesla could drive from point A to point B without a human in the car.
Much remains unknown about Tesla’s Dojo supercomputer.
