Elon Musk might be grabbing the headlines for his exploits in space, which needless to say, is not undeserved.

When you dare to put people permanently on another planet and build the most powerful rocket that is also reusable, your revolutions are bound to attract attention! However, there is another revolution of Musk going on on this planet that you might not have heard about yet but which will change everything as we know it! For years, Tesla has been working on what is the most powerful computer in the world, the Powerful Dojo near-quantum Supercomputer! What is this near powerful computere Dojo and how does it affect you as a person? Join us as we dive into Elon Musk finally revealing its new powerful Dojo near-quantum supercomputer! Is Tesla a car maker or an IT company? Tesla makes sweet and fast cars powered by batteries.

It is even a leader in EV batteries so it is not surprising that most of the world identifies Tesla as a manufacturer of battery powered vehicles. However, the fact is, the Musk-controlled company is much more than that, and the line between a car-making company and a computer-based company blurs when Tesla is involved! For example, it is not without reason that Tesla has a market capitalization in the league of IT companies! With a market cap of over one trillion, Teslas rolls with the big boys like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, and Amazon, far removed from companies from its own primary industry.

Toyota, the second most capitalized automaker, has about one- quarter of Tesla’s worth, while Volkswagen, the third, comes in even lower at about one- eight! Not surprisingly, Tesla has championed over the air updates to make its cars better by adding features or clearing bugs, just like Microsoft updates your personal computer or Apple releases an update for your iPhone! Speaking of software, Tesla is the leader in auto software! Tesla has, in the past, unlocked more battery capacity over the air, although not everybody liked the idea! Over the years, Tesla has refined its user interface so much that drivers use it without even thinking about it! Tesla even has games for you to play on your center console and Netflix for the times you want to chill inside your car! While that might be controversial sometimes, it shows how seriously Tesla takes software! That’s not to talk of hidden Easter eggs that make the ownership experience much more exciting!

This is why Musk said the Model S was not a car but a sophisticated computer on wheels! Here is how Musk described Tesla, “Tesla is a software company as much as it is a hardware company. A huge part of what Tesla is, is a Silicon Valley software company. We view this the same as updating your phone or your laptop.” Show this headline: Elon Musk: Model S not a car but a ‘sophisticated computer on wheels’ – Los Angeles Times (latimes.com) That was back in 2015! Since then, Tesla has improved in both hardware and software, but the company is still as focused on the software! Most recently, Tesla’s AI head, Andrej Karpathy, describes Tesla’s car like this: “We are effectively building a synthetic animal from the ground up. The car can be thought of as an animal. It moves around autonomously, senses the environment, and acts autonomously.”

One aspect that has been driving Tesla’s innovation in the computing space is its self- driving technology! Many Tesla owners swear by the self-driving capabilities of their cars! While the capabilities are amazing, a Tesla car driving itself or working autonomously requires large amounts of computing power! However, using existing computing technologies is providing Tesla with sub-par results. And as usual, when Musk can’t get what he wants, he builds it! This is why Tesla unveiled the near-quantum Dojo, a supercomputer it built in-house by Tesla! The near-quantum computer Dojo is every bit a supercomputer.

It is very complex and powerful. Tesla required a computer platform for taking its self-driving technology to the next level but, since Musk could not shop for what he needed, he made the near- quantum computerDojo, powered by the Dojo D1 chip, which provides stunning bandwidth and compute performance. This is what will train Tesla’s massive neural networks.

But the company has hinted they might provide Dojo its near-quantum computing to other companiess developing AI in the near future, bringing the benefits of Dojo to more of humanity! Tesla is building Dojo its near-quantum supercomputer to handle the massive amount of video data captured from over their large fleet of existing vehicles, which it uses to train its neural nets. Tesla was not satisfied with other HPC or High-Performance Computing options for training its computer vision neural nets and decided they could create a better platform.
