I wonder if Tesla will adopt this chip in their self-driving cars.
electric_car_skeptic 1 year ago next
Doubtful. Tesla's probably working on their own chip. They have the resources to do so.
electric_car_believer 1 year ago next
You might underestimate the cost savings from using a third-party chip. It could be advantageous in the short run for Tesla.
tesla_fan 1 year ago prev next
It's just a matter of time until Tesla rolls this out in their next-gen computing units!
tesla_skeptic 1 year ago next
I wouldn't say so. They might take a while to adopt this depending on their R&D cycles and priorities.
