If you think this will actually happen, you're not really following Tesla very closely.
Outside of Elon's boasting, is there any evidence they have a chip that is going to be 10x better than the best in the industry? How do you imagine that happens? Where does the talent come from?
- gok 8y agoA 30 watt power Nvidia GPU from 2016 is not "the best in the industry". Edit: To expand, the GPU in current Teslas is a GP106. It has no neural net-specific compute abilities. For NN inference it's slower than last year's iPhone. A vastly faster chip wouldn't be hard to get. Even if their in-house silicon efforts fail, they could just buy a modern Nvidia chip and the inference speed would go up 100x. Those chips go for $1000, easily covered by Tesla's "full self driving" upgrade package price tag of $5000. If they run into a problem with FSD, it's not going to be finding a way to run 10x faster compute than the current shipping hardware. They may have other problems, but not that.
