There is a lot of speculation as to what will be discussed at the event, a phenomenon that we at TechCrunch are not above.

Every year, the luxury electric vehicle maker holds an event called Artificial Intelligence Day to promote its artificial intelligence capabilities across different business segments.

This event will be full of technical jargon and big promises from the executives of the company, even without the star head of Artificial Intelligence.

We will discuss what we expect to hear about based on recent news and last year's event. How to watch is the next thing.

The day is scheduled to start at 5 pm. It's not uncommon for the events ofTesla to run late. You can watch it on the internet from remote locations.

It's time for the forecasts.

An Optimus prototype

TESLA-opitmus-robot

During the Cyber Rodeo grand opening party in Austin, Texas, on April 7, 2022, theTeslaBot is on display at the factory.

At last year's Artificial Intelligence Day, Musk announced plans to create a robot that is friendly and navigates through a world built for humans.

Musk pushed the date back because he wanted to have a working prototype of the device by this week. The prototype will be ready by the end of the month.

During the company's first-quarter earnings call, a celebrity executive told investors that the company continues to work on a robot that can handle the drudgery of humans. At the time, Musk said that his company would be worth more than the business of cars.

Full Self-Driving, or FSD, is the advanced driver assistance system that is not fully self-driving, but can perform some tasks for drivers willing to pay $15,000. Musk has said that the value of the company is essentially zero.

Musk said during the opening of the Austin gigafactory in April that there will be a new wave of products. Which leads to the prototype...

If it makes it to the stage, we expect it to weigh in at 125 pounds, walk at 5 miles per hour, have a screen for a face, and be weak enough to be defeated by a human.

It seems unlikely that a consumer product will be released in the next year unless the artificial intelligence team attesla makes rapid progress on getting this robot to perform human-like tasks. Will it be any better if one does?

Musk has been promising to solve full self-driving for a long time. Problems forTesla are caused by the fact that FSD does not have fully self- driving capabilities. Even as it expands access to the latter, as well as multiple lawsuits claiming that it has lied about the capabilities of its ADAS, the automaker is facing state and federal scrutiny for its products.

Updates to Autopilot and FSD

WhatTesla's autopilot sees

According to Musk, the end of the month is the deadline for the summon and auto park features of Enhanced autopilot. Smart summon, which Musk suggests has been operating at a less than perfect performance, promises to navigate the car in complex environments and parking spaces and find you in a parking lot. According to the website of the electric car maker, auto park helps you park your car with one touch.

A Tesla robotaxi

In order to celebrate the opening of the Austin gigafactory in April, Musk said that the year of scaling up would be 2022.

He mentioned a "dedicatedrobotaxi" that looked "quite futuristic." Musk said on the Q1 earnings call that the car would be built without a steering wheel or pedals. The CEO promised that it would be cheaper than a subsidized bus ticket and that it would be the lowest cost per mile of any other transport.

Musk came out with his Master Plan Part Deux in 2016 and since then, there has been a lot of talk about arobotaxi. The CEO came up with the idea of a taxi service that would allow the owners of the cars to make money while they are at work or on vacation.

Will Musk give us details about what these robotaxis will look like, how they will be used, and when they will be available for sale? On Friday, you'll find out.

Updates to the Dojo supercomputer

There is a presentation on the D1 chip for dojo. The image is of a car.

This is where the jargon will start to build.

The D1 is an in-house-built chip that is being used to run the company's supercomputer. The neural network training system that Musk says can process four times the amount of camera images as other computing systems is called Dojo. It's important forTesla to have a fast computer because it relies on cameras instead of lidar and radar to operate autonomously. The processing power of D1 plays a part in this speed.

During the Hot Chips 34 conference in August, the company revealed new information about Dojo's artificial intelligence system. The details about how Dojo's distributed system facilitates machine learning and how this will lead to generalized autonomy were published by Serve the Home. The presentations were very technical, so we will skip the details on hardware and capabilities, but we are expecting a lot of the same information to be shared on the day.

Surprise announcements

We wouldn't be surprised if Musk came out with something crazy next year.

We'll be watching the event so you don't have to, so check back in with us for updates on what's happening during the event.
