Tesla's Second AI Day: Tesla Bot, Self-Driving Cars, Dojo Computers and More

Tesla's artificial intelligence team took to the stage on Friday evening for the company's second annual AI Day to demonstrate how far their autonomous robot and vehicle research has come. Tesla AI Day 2022 gave us our first look at the Optimus robot strolling around the stage, updates on self-driving software and a first look at the Dojo hardware powering Tesla's AI research. Originally planned for June, Tesla CEO Elon Musk delayed the showcase until September to get the Optimus prototype working. "This event is meant for recruiting AI & robotics engineers, so will be highly technical," Musk tweeted Thursday. Mirroring Musk's stance that the Tesla Bot will be "friendly," Tesla tweeted an animation of robot hands forming a human heart symbol.
