Revealed: The AI Systems and Training Models of Tesla, Waymo

Autonomous vehicles have been in the media glare ever since their inception. Today’s autonomous vehicles are technological marvels, from the hardware deployed on the vehicle to the models they use to drive themselves. They are also a hotbed of AI innovation, as autonomous vehicles have to solve real-world problems using machine learning algorithms. The best-known manufacturer in the autonomous vehicles space is Tesla, and for a good reason. It has innovated extensively for powering capable on-vehicle computers through its collaboration with TSMC. Along with this, it has also trained models in-house for use in its autopilot feature using a supercomputing cluster powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Google’s autonomous driving company, Waymo, is the only other manufacturer to achieve fully-auto
