Tesla resumes development of the Dojo3 supercomputer for autopilot
Tesla has decided to continue working on the Dojo3 supercomputer, which was halted in 2025 due to a focus on artificial intelligence development. This was announced in a post by Elon Musk on the platform X.
The Dojo3 supercomputer will become the third generation of Tesla’s computing systems. The decision to resume the project was made following the successful completion of the AI5 chip development. According to Musk, Dojo3 will be capable of processing enormous amounts of video and other data coming from Tesla vehicles to train neural networks used in the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system.
In 2025, the company shifted its focus to AI5 and AI6 chips, recognizing the simultaneous development of two different types of AI chips as impractical. However, now that the AI5 design is complete, Tesla can steer efforts towards the innovative Dojo3.
Elon Musk also noted that Dojo3 could become part of a global AI computing system encompassing orbital data centers. In Musk’s opinion, orbital data centers could become a new alternative to terrestrial ones due to access to solar energy and low temperatures, simplifying equipment cooling.
This Tesla initiative is part of a broader strategy to develop autonomous vehicles, which require highly intelligent computing capabilities to process large volumes of data in real-time. The Dojo3 project highlights potential changes in the field of autonomous driving, which could impact safety and economic aspects of the industry.
