Tesla motors and amd join forces for artificial intelligence

Tesla Motors, the undisputed leader in the electric vehicle sector, has a great interest in the field of artificial intelligence and has therefore formed an alliance with AMD with a view to developing a new personalized SoC focused precisely on artificial intelligence and deep learning.

Tesla Motors works with AMD for autonomous driving

Currently AMD has a clear advantage over Nvidia in GPGPU computing capacity, which is why it has been the partner chosen by Tesla for the joint development of a new SoC focused on artificial intelligence. Elon Musk has already shown his concern about the extreme development that artificial intelligence has been undergoing in recent years, but he knows that it is the only way to achieve fully autonomous driving systems, so there is no other option than to bet on artificial intelligence.

In addition to its clear advantage over Nvidia in GPGPU, AMD is also characterized by offering tighter prices as well as greater freedom in APIs thanks to its commitment to open standards. These two facts have led the Sunnyvale company to be the benchmark for the development of custom processors, both Sony and Microsoft have relied on the benefits of AMD for their current game consoles and they will most likely repeat in the future.

Elon Musk is confident that the new development in conjunction with AMD will allow travelers to get into the car and sleep while the system runs the entire journey fully autonomously. The Tesla CEO is confident that this technology will be available to the user in 2019.
