Elon Musk set an aggressive deadline for Tesla to achieve full self-driving capability, but the electric automaker might have an ace up its sleeve that mostly went under the radar: project ‘Dojo.’ Electrek: Over the weekend, Musk hinted that it could make the difference. During Tesla’s Autonomy Day earlier this year, Musk and other Tesla executives gave presentations about what the company is doing to try to achieve full self-driving capability by the end of next year. While most people were focused on the unveiling of Tesla’s new HW3 ‘Full Self-Driving Computer,’ which was being explained for the first time and is now installed in all new Tesla vehicles, there was a brief mention of another computer, the Dojo computer, that Tesla is working on and it could be a game-changer.

Last weekend, Musk was asked about the secret project and while the CEO didn’t reveal anything new, he did hint that it could make the difference. During Autonomy Day, Musk briefly mentioned the project ‘Dojo’: “We do have a major program at Tesla which we don’t have enough time to talk about today called “Dojo.” That’s a super powerful training computer. The goal of Dojo will be to be able to take in vast amounts of data and train at a video level and do unsupervised massive training of vast amounts of video with the Dojo program — or Dojo computer.”
