What does Tesla use this for, other than full self driving? Other FAANGs would use such a beast to serve myriad tasks, from vision to text to speech. But Tesla likely licenses all their non-FSD AI tech from 3rd parties since it doesn't motivate the sales of their products the way FSD does. Meanwhile, FSD is installed on only 7% of Tesla's cars, down from over 50% in 2019. https://www.torquenews.com/1083/teslas-low-fsd-take-rate-offers-growth-opportunity https://www.torquenews.com/1083/teslas-low-fsd-take-rate-off... Thus a 70 petaflop ultracomputer is quite a big investment to support an increasingly unpopular car option that's inessential and mostly promotional, ergo, a geek tickler.

  Super curious to read more about how Tesla uses AI in their factory and design! From what I know, solvers used in “traditional” programs are heavily optimized for CUDA and Intel chips. Like decades and hundreds of PhDs has dedicated their lives just to make that happen. So curious how Tesla replaced or improved on that.

  Costs you $10K for FSD but 3 million Teslas can still send real life driving experiences back to home base for it to learn from. They are obviously not doing this (or not doing it well) as there are several spots on the state highway I repeatedly drive through where my car always slows down from 100KMH to 50KMH for and I have to repeatedly override with the accelerator to stop the person behind going in to me.

    I didn't defend the current product. I was just pointing out that from Tesla perspective the investment is worth it because they see a huge market potential, both in incremental level 2 updates and things beyond that.
