Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk Praises Tesla’s Real-World Video Simulation Capabilities
Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, has praised the real-world simulation and video generation capabilities of his company following the announcement of OpenAI’s Sora generative video model. OpenAI unveiled Sora, a text-to-video generative model, which showcased a range of AI-generated videos.
Musk took to social media platform X to showcase Tesla’s own generative video, which was also unveiled by the company last year. Musk has been vocal about Tesla’s efforts in real-world video generation and even responded to a suggestion that Tesla should create a video game, stating that the company’s simulation and video generation technology is the best in the world.
Musk noted that Tesla would focus on developing a game after launching its unsupervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology to the public, highlighting that Tesla’s video generation technology is superior to OpenAI in terms of predicting accurate physics, crucial for self-driving capabilities.
Additionally, Musk mentioned that Tesla has had the ability to generate real-world videos with accurate physics for over a year. However, he admitted that the generative videos created using Tesla’s systems were not particularly interesting as the training data came from Tesla cars.
It should be noted that Musk has had a contentious relationship with OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman. Despite initially serving on the company’s board, Musk has been critical of OpenAI’s transition from a non-profit to a for-profit organization. In response, Musk launched his own AI company, called xAI, with its first product, a generative language model named Grok, released in November.
