Tesla Inc.’s Dojo supercomputer project lead Ganesh Venkataramanan has left the company, according to people familiar with the matter.
Venkataramanan, who has lead the Dojo project for the last five years, departed the EV maker last month, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential information. Peter Bannon, a former Apple Inc. executive and director at Tesla for the last seven years is now leading the project.
Elon Musk and representatives for Tesla didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Dojo supercomputer is being designed to handle massive amounts of data, including video from Tesla cars, which are needed to train autonomous-driving software. At the core of the hardware is Tesla’s proprietary D1 chip.
In recent weeks, Tesla also installed hardware for Dojo at a centralized location in Palo Alto, California, two of the people said. Dojo has relied on multiple data centers in different locations.
As of Wednesday, Venkataramanan was no longer appearing in Tesla’s internal directories, one of the people said.
