Tesla's Dojo Supercomputer Project Suffers Setback as Key Leader Departs

Tesla's Dojo supercomputer project, which is crucial for the development of its self-driving technology, has suffered a setback as its lead, Ganesh Venkataramanan, has left the company. Peter Bannon, a former Apple executive, is now leading the project. The Dojo system is designed to train machine learning models for Tesla's self-driving systems and has been estimated to potentially add $500 billion to Tesla's market value. The departure of Venkataramanan and another member of the team poses a blow to the expensive and technologically advanced project. Tesla previously relied on supercomputers from Nvidia, but Dojo aims to compete with offerings from Hewlett Packard Enterprise and IBM.
