Tesla officially brought out its own computer chips for autonomous car. “We’ve been in semi-stealth mode on this basically for the last 2-3 years,” Musk said, “I think it’s probably time to let the cat out of the bag.”
They created their own hardware for machine learning. This gives Tesla a competitive advantage over creators that rely on available technologies, and distinguishes Tesla distinguished from other car-makers. Moreover, the new hardware would improve significantly over Nvidia’s hardware, and it can also be installed in older models.
Despite the convenience and safety brought by automated cars, there are also possible dangers if the technology is not adequately developed and tested. It is important as well to follow ethical standards, and this is the reason why MDI developed the AIWS 7-layer Model to ensure human safety when it comes to AI.
