I doubt anything like that would happen. While Tesla Motors was founded prior to the creation of the Tesla GPU architecture, there's not really any overlap - in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla Motors wasn't using something like this from NVidia: http://www.nvidia.com/object/drive-px.html http://www.nvidia.com/object/drive-px.html As far as any overlap software-wise is concerned, while it isn't super clear what Tesla Motors is doing for their self-driving systems, based on what I've seen it seems like they are using only "basic" lane-detection and identification along with some other algorithmic vision-based systems. I'm not saying that's everything they are doing, just what I have seen released publicly on their vehicle platform. NVidia, on the other hand, has been experimenting with using neural networks (deep learning CNNs specifically) to drive vehicles using only camera information: https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.07316 https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.07316 This is actually a fun CNN to implement - I (and many others) implemented variations of it in the first term on Udacity's Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree. We weren't told to do it this way, but I chose to do so after reviewing the various literature, plus it seemed like a challenge (and it was for me). Udacity supplied a simulator: https://github.com/udacity/self-driving-car-sim https://github.com/udacity/self-driving-car-sim ...and we wrote code in Python (Tensorflow and Keras) to train and drive the virtual car. For my part, I had set up my home workstation with CUDA so that Tensorflow would utilize my GPU (a lowly GTX 750 TI SC - though it seems like it might have a similar GPU capability as NVidia's Drive-PX system, based on what I've researched - a Mini-ITX mobo, a PCI-E slot riser, and a GTX 750 would make a decent low-end deep-learning platform for self-driving vehicle experiments, and cost a fraction of what the Drive-PX sells for).
