Telsa is reportedly developing its own AI chip for automated cars with AMD.
Sanjay Jha, CEO of GlobalFoundries, a spin-off of AMD, spilled the beans at its conference in Santa Clara, California, CNBC reports. GlobalFoundries later said Jha didn’t mean to explicitly name Tesla as a partner, but was instead pointing to Tesla as an “example” of a company working with chipmakers.
With Jm Keller—former chip designer for Apple, AMD, and Honda— now working at Tesla has fueled speculation that Tesla and GlobalFoundries are indeed working together. A source for CNBC adds that Tesla has received samples of the first implementation of its AI processor and is running tests now.
