Average guy who loves autonomous vehicles
Tesla Inc.’s Dojo supercomputer project lead Ganesh Venkataramanan has left the company, according to people familiar with the matter.
Venkataramanan, who has lead the Dojo project for the last five years, departed the EV maker last month, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information. Peter Bannon, a former Apple Inc. executive and director at Tesla for the last seven years is now leading the project.
Elon Musk and representatives for Tesla didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Dojo supercomputer is being designed to handle massive amounts of data, including video from Tesla cars, which are needed to train autonomous-driving software. At the core of the hardware is Tesla’s proprietary D1 chip.
In recent weeks, Tesla also installed hardware for Dojo at a centralized location in Palo Alto, California, two of the people said. Dojo has relied on multiple data centers in different locations.
As of Wednesday, Venkataramanan was no longer appearing in Tesla’s internal directories, one of the people said.
If you tell Elon it won't scale you'll get shouted at and then fired on the spot. Incredible hubris wasting time building own architecture. Just buy.
Last minute like that makes one think Dojo has some issues and Elon wants to plow ahead with short cuts to show Dojo is keeping up with hockey stick projections. I recall Elon saying the project was very challenging.
What project has he ever done which isn't very challenging? Answers on a postcard...
Tesla Inc. has lost another key member of the team working on artificial intelligence and a supercomputer to develop autonomous technology.
Bill Chang, a principal system engineer working on AI, left Tesla in October. Chang updated his LinkedIn profile on Thursday to say he’s stepping back from the Dojo supercomputer project. He had appeared on stage at Tesla’s 2022 AI day, explaining the infrastructure, technology, power and cooling challenges associated with Dojo.
