Bolstered by Dojo’s capabilities, Tesla’s advanced driver-assist solutions might very well reach their full potential. Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD programs are designed to be safety systems, even if they tend to make driving tasks incredibly convenient. Musk’s predictions about Dojo’s potential may sound incredibly optimistic, but the CEO has a point. Reducing traffic fatalities by 90% seems likely, perhaps ultimately by over 99%

Speculating further, Musk noted that there’s even a chance that the innovations with the Dojo supercomputer would be able to reduce accidents on the road by over 99%. Elon Musk seemed to agree with this sentiment, responding that a 90% reduction in traffic fatalities seems likely with Dojo’s full rollout. This meant that once Dojo becomes more self-supervised, accidents on the road that are caused by human error would likely see a notable drop.

Electric vehicle advocate Pranay Pathole, in response to Musk’s initial comment, noted that Dojo would likely gain the capability to predict what good human drivers would do given a set of conditions on the road. Considering that Dojo would be used to expedite the training and development of the company’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving systems, the supercomputer could serve a crucial role in raising the safety of Tesla’s vehicles.
