3 min read | Why is Tesla CEO Elon Musk betting big on supercomputers and will it pay off?
A few people also reported spotting a heavily-camouflaged prototype being test-driven on the lot of Warner Bros Studios in Los Angeles, California, US, where the Robotaxi launch will be held. A demo of Tesla’s latest Optimus humanoid robots is also expected to be on the cards.
A pending promise
It’s been more than a few years since Tesla CEO Elon Musk first announced that the company was building a dedicated self-driving vehicle.
Currently, Tesla car owners have access to two suites of driver assistance features: Autopilot (with automatic steering, accelaration, and braking) and the more advanced Full Self-Driving or FSD system which offers features such as automatic lane changes, automatic parking, and automatic stopping for traffic lights and stop signs at a subscription of $99 a month.
Notably, Tesla stresses that “Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (Supervised) are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment.” On the other hand, Tesla rivals like Waymo have been growing their ride-hailing services using geo-locked technology.

However, Musk has been investing billions of dollars to build supercomputers that would help Tesla reach full autonomy. We’ll have to wait for the October event to see if that vision has become reality.
