Tesla will be hosting an AI day on September 30 where you can see their plans for the future and advances of artificial intelligence. It will take years more to mature, but they plan to make humanoid robots and self-driving cars.
Elon Musk debuted a humanoid robot called Optimus that is likely to be a star at the second AI Day event. Last year, he announced specifications and design of the Tesla Bot at the first AI day. He postponed the second event because a prototype was not ready.
Tesla is looking to hire Tesla Bot engineers, in order to make both humanoid robots and wheeled models. These models serve different purposes, such as one for factories. Elon Musk plans events like AI Day to attract recruitment candidates.
Elon Musk himself has been worried about how puny we’ll be compared to superintelligent AIs that pose an “existential threat” to humanity, so don’t feel silly if you’re concerned about bending the knee before our future robot overlords. However, with Optimus, Tesla is trying to ease your minds, seeing the Tesla Bot as a helpful assistant. It showed an image of robot hands on its Instagram page and promised that “If you can run faster than 5mph, you’ll be fine.”
The TeslaBot will play a role in the evolution towards full self-driving abilities. It’s initially going to be paired with FSD, Tesla’s Beta product allowing cars to park themselves.
Here’s what you need to know about Tesla AI Day
What to expect from Tesla’s AI Day and how to stream it
The company has not shared information on how to tune into the event, though it will likely be streamed on the company’s YouTube account like with their first Tesla AI Day. Musk has used the YouTube account for other high-profile events for his companies like rocket maker SpaceX and brain-computer connectivity designer Neuralink.
What can I expect to see at Tesla AI Day?
Elon Musk unveiled his Tesla Bot that will do dangerous, repetitive and boring tasks with a friendly face. In the future, physical work will be a choice.
This battery-powered robot will be capable of lifting up to 150 pounds and will use 8 cameras to “see” its surroundings.
It’s harder to research robotics because of the many differing factors, which is exemplified in the difficulty of reaching human intelligence. Atlas is a good example of how many years of research can take – but when it succeeds, they become convenient tools to use.

The Rise of Machine Learning and AI
Infomercials show artificial intelligence to be a technique of using piles of data to generate computer systems that can make decisions and understand patterns. With this, there is a vast switch from the traditional programming to tackles difficult tasks that are more complex which requires new techniques.
Tech giants invest billions in AI to add new features to their products, such as Google Search, Apple iPhone 14 and Facebooks system, which is based on the text of your posts. Yes, it is still in its early stages as they lack general-purpose abilities.
Elected officials are working on liability and transparency issues before they approve the use of driverless cars. If an incident were to happen, who would be liable? How would we know that the data being collected was secure? What if hackers obtained the data? Besides these legal and ethical questions, it is also important to ask how driverless cars will increase their potential for innovation.
Tesla’s AI Day features Optimus Robot and self-driving updates–here’s how to watch
One game-changing example of Tesla’s AI is its FSD Beta software, which markets to autonomous cars.
One of the hardest parts to AI is training models, which can take days if not weeks. It requires computing power equivalent to that of a data center.
Tesla built technology called Dojo to speed up AI training. Dojo uses custom-designed AI processors that can be connected at the thousands to create an exapod.
Tesla invests heavily in autolaming and uses both human labor and automated machine learning to label video.
Tesla’s cars run on processors which they have designed and trained to identify surroundings and make decisions.
How you can watch Tesla AI Day
Tesla’s system is only considered driver assistance because it requires an attentive human to take over in the event of a problem. Computers still need some steering pressure from a human driver to ensure this.
With FSD, Tesla is an advance over their own Autopilot driver assistance technology that only works on freeways. However, Tesla has struggled to deliver FSD to the customers that pre-ordered the feature for the past few years. Recently, they introduced a beta version of FSD to drivers who receive a high safety score that are judged by Tesla’s monitoring of behavior like hard braking or following other cars too closely.
In September, Elon Musk will release an FSD update to 160,000 total beta testers.

Here are the updates that Tesla made to the robot they unveiled and their autonomous car
Elon Musk talks about how self-driving cars are smart pieces of equipment that react to the environment.
Robots designed to do specific tasks in a warehouse are much easier to train than a robot that encounters various situations in someone’s home.
