Unlike other companies that develop autonomous vehicles, Tesla has been developing self-driving car chips independently, rather than relying on chip makers such as Nvidia.
Mask said in the company's second quarter earnings conference call: 'The most important thing is that the three-year autopilot chip technology has finally come to fruition.'
Pete Bannon, Tesla's Autopilot autopilot team leader, said: 'Our self-developed chips are already working, which means that Model S, X and 3 electric cars have alternative chips.'
In addition, Musk also said that Tesla plans to expand the chip team and invest in the technology as soon as possible. It is reported that Tesla's self-developed AI chip is almost the same cost as the company's current chip, but it can be used as a vehicle. Provides higher computing power. Currently, Tesla uses mainly NVIDIA chips.
