Tesla AI Day is here — the company’s second-annual event designed to show off its progress in AI and robotics.
Viewers should expect demos and updates on the Optimus robot, the Dojo supercomputer as well as its “Autopilot” advanced driver assistance system, along with the $15,000 upgrade known as FSD, or “Full Self Driving.” (Tesla vehicles are not self-driving.)
CEO Elon Musk has billed Tesla AI Day as a recruitment event. And what better way to reach the 80-hour workweek ride-or-die for Tesla crowd than scheduling this for a Friday evening?
Note, this event is meant for recruiting AI & robotics engineers, so will be highly technical https://t.co/BcxAEv6qJd

Tesla AI Day is scheduled to begin at 6:15 p.m. PT September 30 (that’s today). If past is prologue then Tesla AI Day will not start precisely at 6:15 p.m. — despite Elon’s latest tweet. Tesla AI Day 2022 will be livestreamed on the the company website.
Tesla AI Day 2022 starts at precisely 6:15pm California time

Last year, Tesla AI Day covered computer vision, the Dojo supercomputer and the Tesla chip. But it was the dancing human dressed in a white body suit with a shiny black mask as a face that got the most attention. That stunt introduced the world to Musk’s plan to build a humanoid robot called the Tesla Bot or Optimus.
The Tesla bot was described as a non-automotive robotic use case for the company’s work on neural networks and its Dojo advanced supercomputer.
Will this year’s event give us another human dressed in a robot costume, or an actual working humanoid robot?
