Tesla is suing one of its former engineers for allegedly downloading confidential information about its supercomputer technology, Project Dojo, to his computer.
Elon Musk said that Tesla is becoming the world's biggest robot company, as Tesla vehicles are basically robots on 4 wheels; also that it will be useful to put all that same technology into robots. "With FSD - Autopilot, we're creating the most practical AI for navigating the real world."
Jason Hughes is also known as the Tesla Hacker. No one can accuse him of being a short seller or a FUDster, as any critic of the company’s actions is frequently classified. Despite that, he’ll probably hear that after publicly confronting Tesla to be upfront about its promises of Full Self-Driving hardware. He showed they date back from October 19, 2016.
Tesla’s current market cap is mainly credited to its autonomous driving tech promises. Elon Musk himself said that they would turn Tesla cars into “appreciating assets” instead of goods that devaluate, as most vehicles are. Although Tesla has repeatedly failed to deliver on these promises, its shareholders hope it will get there. When they heard Missy Cummings would become a senior adviser for safety at NHTSA, they panicked.
The Tesla AI Day would happen way past bedtime for me. On other occasions, I’d probably stay up and watch the entire thing hoping that something exciting would be revealed.

In both cases, what was presented was CGI, but Tesla made it even worse with a person dancing with a robot outfit.
