Most people don’t know that Tesla has had an advanced AI chip and board engineering team for many years.

That team has already designed and deployed several million AI chips in our cars and data centers. These chips are what enable Tesla to be the leader in real-world AI.

The current version in cars is AI4, we are close to taping out AI5 and are starting work on AI6. Our goal is to bring a new AI chip design to volume production every 12 months. We expect to build chips at higher volumes ultimately than all other AI chips combined. Read that sentence again, as I’m not kidding.

These chips will profoundly change the world in positive ways, saving millions of lives due to safer driving and providing advanced medical care to all people via Optimus.

Send an email with three bullet points describing evidence of your exceptional ability to AI_Chips@Tesla.com.

We are particularly interested in applying cutting edge AI to chip design.

Thanks, Elon

How much cheaper would a car be if they got rid of all this extra stuff that most people don’t really even care aboutl.

Maybe a smidgen as they gotta keep that profit margin maxed. This is not factoring in the copper wires being smaller than before as well as body panels made of aluminum, plastic, and fiberglass or other composites. Many folks don’t realize how the manufacturers fooled them into thinking all the computer controls built into vehicles throughout the past few decades gained them significant MPG. Simple physics proves otherwise.... E=MC2.

About the only new thing I’m really interested in is ABS as that system is a life saver. There’s prolly a way to retrofit ABS into older vehicles but I haven’t sat down and figured it out.

ABS = Anti-lock Braking System
MPG = Miles Per Gallon
