Challenges and Criticisms
Despite the potential of Dojo and Musk's other supercomputing projects, several challenges and criticisms have emerged:
Hardware supply: Tesla and xAI remain heavily dependent on Nvidia GPUs, with potential supply constraints affecting their plans.
Autonomous driving skepticism: Some experts argue that Tesla's vision-only approach to autonomous driving, which eschews lidar, may limit the effectiveness of Dojo in achieving full autonomy.
Environmental concerns: The massive energy and water requirements of supercomputers have raised environmental concerns, with xAI facing criticism for its impact on air quality in Memphis.
