“We should have Dojo operational next year,” CEO Elon Musk said.
Tesla’s D1 chip abilities
The D1 chip work followed Tesla’s car production using AI chips inside its vehicles. The chips that the company manufactured 2 years ago help the car’s on-board software to decide quickly in response to whatever is facing it on the road.
Tesla is now offering a “Full Self-Driving Capability” add-on for new vehicles. The $10,000 package enables Tesla cars to move into parking spots, navigate on highways and even change lanes. According to the company’s website, the package will also enable Tesla buyers to enjoy the automatic steer on city streets. Nonetheless, Tesla has already promised that this will come in 2019.
Tesla’s website says Full-Self Driving elements “require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.” Earlier this year Tesla introduced a $199 monthly subscription for Tesla owners who wish to access Full-Self Driving.
