Part 9/14:
In electrics, Musk discusses Tesla's progress on developing superior AI chips, specifically highlighting the upcoming AI chip, AI5, which promises a "40x improvement" over the current AI4 version. This leap will provide immense processing power, reducing the time for complex operations like softmax calculations from multiple steps to just a few, with overall computational increases of eightfold and memory enhancements of nine times.
This hardware evolution directly influences Tesla's self-driving AI, promising safer and more reliable autonomous driving. Musk confidently states that the current chips in Tesla vehicles can achieve "two to three times" human-level safety, with further software updates elevating performance even more.
