Nvidia fires back at Tesla's claim that it created the world's best chip for self-driving cars

, saying the Drive Xavier is capable of 3o TOPS, but is designed for semi-autonomous driver-assistance tasks, rather than complete autonomy. Nvidia's Drive AGX Pegasus computer, which is designed for full autonomy and capable of 320 TOPS, is a more accurate point of comparison, the company said.

"It's not useful to compare the performance of Tesla's two-chip Full Self Driving computer against Nvidia's single-chip driver assistance system. Tesla's two-chip FSD computer at 144 TOPs would compare against the Nvidia DRIVE AGX Pegasus computer which runs at 320 TOPS for AI perception, localization, and path planning.

"Additionally, while Xavier delivers 30 TOPS of processing, Tesla erroneously stated that it delivers 21 TOPS. Moreover, a system with a single Xavier processor is designed for assisted driving AutoPilot features, not full self-driving. Self-driving, as Tesla asserts, requires a good deal more compute."

Nvidia credited Tesla for focusing on developing the significant computing power necessary for self-driving vehicles, but suggested that Nvidia's technology, by allowing customers to build on top of it, is superior. "Tesla, however, has the most important issue fully right: Self-driving cars — which are key to new levels of safety, efficiency, and convenience — are the future of the industry. And they require massive amounts of computing performance," Nvidia said."There are only two places where you can get that AI computing horsepower: Nvidia and Tesla. And only one of these is an open platform that's available for the industry to build on.

Anyone use Nvidia for car?

android to Apple as Nvidia to Tesla... both winners imo

tesla approach is so good that other manufacturers need to catch up, basically buying Nvidia chips. So both win Tesla and Nvidia.

Elon Musk said Tesla cars will probably be better than humans at driving by the end of 2019Tesla CEO Elon Musk made the prediction in an interview with MIT research scientist Lex Fridman. “Please don’t sell the equity, I don’t want MS calling in my loan. Do you expect me to fly commercial, like an ordinary person?” - Elon Musk (probably) Business Insider. Yeah, Elon didn't say that. He said eventually cars will be better drivers than people. He didn't say at the end of 2019. His cars will be FSD feature complete by the end of 2019. Fix your headline. Maybe, the Tesla Car can also run the company better than musk
