According to an Eletrek article, Tesla's Autobidder software, using their AI-based Opticaster, is now managing 1.2GWh of electricity globally. That's an amazing figure! But what is Autobidder? how does Autobidder work? How does it use artificial intelligence/machine learning? What is Opticaster and how does it relate to Autobidder? How does it make electric companies money? How does it make Tesla a great deal of money? Can we humble consumers get in on this and make money using our own Tesla powerwalls?
