June 21 (Reuters) – Elon Musk, head of Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) plans to hold an AI day in about a month, where the Silicon Valley billionaire will demonstrate progress in AI software and hardware for the purpose of recruiting people.
“Looking at holding Tesla AI Day in about a month or so. Will discuss progress with Tesla AI software and hardware, both training and inference. Goal is recruiting,” Musk tweeted Monday.
His latest plan to promote Tesla’s technology comes amid the challenges the company faces on its way to fully self-driving technology.
Musk had said during a profit call in January that he was “very confident that the car this year will be able to drive itself with reliability beyond human”.
But in May, Tesla informed the California Department of Motor Vehicles that it may not achieve full self-driving technology by 2021.
The automaker is under review by the California regulator, which is investigating whether the company violated regulations by falsely promoting its advanced driver assistance systems as “fully self-driving”.
Tesla’s driver assistance features, which it describes as “autopilot” or “fully self-driving,” are designed to make hands-on driving easier. These properties do not make the vehicle autonomous.
At Tesla’s “Battery Day” event last September, Musk said a $25,000 self-driving car will be possible in three years.
