Summary
Tesla’s artificial intelligence team took to the stage on Friday evening for the company’s second annual AI Day to demonstrate how far their autonomous robot and vehicle research has come. This event is meant for recruiting AI & robotics engineers, so will be highly technical,” Musk tweeted
The event kicked off with a short keynote from Elon Musk, punctuated by a brief demo of the latest version of Optimus, which had plenty of exposed parts but waved and walked around the stage on its own without a tether. It’s a long way from last year at the inaugural AI Day, when a human cavorted around the stage in an Optimus costume. Engineers described design challenges to make the robot move around and recognize things like humans would.

Here’s what we learned at Tesla AI Day 2022.
Other Tesla engineers explained wonky topics like creating an entire neural network just to recognize lanes in roads.
To get the performance the AI team needs to churn through a 30 Petabyte footage vault, Tesla went dense with its hardware.
