Dec 9, 2024, 05:30 PM

Tesla is advancing its artificial intelligence capabilities with the development of its Optimus robot, which can now navigate complex terrains using neural networks. Elon Musk highlighted this achievement and encouraged individuals to join Tesla to work on innovative AI systems. The company is also focusing on its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, which is reportedly capable of handling all driving tasks autonomously. Proponents of Tesla's technology claim that FSD could significantly reduce traffic fatalities caused by reckless driving. Additionally, Tesla aims to deploy thousands of robots for various tasks by the end of 2025, with ongoing recruitment for roles related to reinforcement learning, 3D understanding, and foundational AI models. The company continues to position itself as a leader in AI, with some asserting that it is fundamentally an AI company rather than just an automotive manufacturer.
