At its core, Tesla’s new supercomputer delivers a peak performance of 340 FP64 PFLOPS tailored for technical computing and 39.58 INT8 ExaFLOPS optimized for AI applications. The in-house designed and hosted Dojo overshadows even Leonardo, the world’s fourth-highest performing supercomputer, which offers 304 FP64 PFLOPS.

Wild. How fast is Ford’s supercomputer again?

Wasn't FSD supposed to be working years ago? Sorry, I get lost on all of Elon's B.S.

It’s actually pretty reasonable now. It actually tends to drive a little too safely at times, annoying human drivers into making aggressive driving choices around it. When we can take people out of the mix entirely it will be great. Most people are really poor drivers.

Haha, the earliest prediction (2014) was "factor of 10 safer than a human in a six-year time frame".

With an "Elon time" correction of ~2X, they're not all that far off. Although they do still have a ways to go to reach level 5, they seem to be closer than other automakers.
