- Tesla's Dojo supercomputer project lead Ganesh Venkataramanan has left the company, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday citing people familiar with the matter.

Peter Bannon, a former Apple executive and director at Tesla for the last seven years, is now leading the project, the report said.

The Dojo supercomputer was designed to process vast amounts of data and video from Tesla cars to train the automaker's autonomous-driving software.

The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Tesla started production of the supercomputer to train artificial intelligence (AI) models for self-driving cars in July and plans to spend more than $1 billion on Dojo through the next year.
