The Tesla AI5, AI6 and subsequent chips will be excellent for inference and at least pretty good for training. All effort is focused on that.” While Dojo was once envisioned as a backbone of Tesla’s self-driving technology, the company has already begun limited rollouts of its robotaxi service — though not without controversy. In June, Tesla began operating driverless ride-hailing vehicles in Austin. These robotaxis are still not available to a wide audience, with only 10 to 20 vehicles currently operating in about 80 square miles of Austin. Only early invitees, mainly Tesla fans and influencers, have access to Tesla's Robotaxi App and the cars have a safety moderator sitting in the front passenger seat. The early pilot caught the attention of federal regulators after online videos showed the robotaxis behaving erratically and violating multiple traffic laws. It has also prompted legal action from within Tesla’s own investor base: a group of shareholders recently filed a lawsuit accusing CEO Elon Musk and the company of making misleading statements about the safety of its self-driving technology, including the robotaxis currently on the road in Austin.
