Samsung in talks with Tesla to make next-gen self-driving chips

Samsung Electronics is in talks with Tesla to make Tesla’s next-generation self-driving chips, based on Samsung's 7-nanometre chip production process. The two firms have discussed chip design multiple times and exchanged chip prototypes for Tesla’s upcoming Hardware 4 self-driving computer, it said.

 

Tesla and Samsung have discussed chip design multiple times and exchanged chip prototypes for Tesla's upcoming Hardware 4 self-driving computer, the Korea Economic Daily reported, citing sources with direct knowledge of the matter. However, Samsung declined to comment. Tesla did not have an immediate response.

 

If Samsung wins the order, it is expected to make the chip on its 7-nanometre production process, the report said. Samsung already produces chips in Tesla's current Hardware 3 computers.

 

At Tesla AI Day last month, CEO Elon Musk was asked whether or not Tesla is reaching the limit of the FSD computer’s capacity.

 

Elon Musk said that the goal of the new hardware will be to enable it to increase the safety gap between human drivers and self-driving cars.

 

Tesla and Samsung’s foundry division have been working on the design and samples of the chip from the start of this year. Recently, Tesla decided to outsource the HW 4.0 self-driving chip to Samsung. It’s virtually a done deal.
