Tesla uses their own chips. Chips which you can’t skip by using lidar because you still need to make decisions based on vision. A sparse distance cloud is not enough

In what sense does Tesla use their own chips?

[DustinBrett]

Let me Google that for you?

[kadoban]

They have no fabs. They're using nvidia chips on server side last I checked, and what tsmc thei own design for in car? Those aren't cheap anyway. The markup on nvidia chips is high, but it's not _that_ high.

[DustinBrett]

If they design the chip it is theirs. If you are saying fabs then nearly nobody has their own chips. But they plan to make fabs too.

By that logic, nvidia also doesnt have chips lol
