Elon Musk is on a tech roll. The tech giant has announced that Tesla is hoping to develop a supercomputer to power their motors and allow full self-driving capabilities for every vehicle. And Musk isn’t afraid to drop the money on this new development. But he’s hoping for an Nvidia Tesla Supercomputer for every vehicle they produce.
Nvidia is famous in the tech industry for supplying software and hardware, specifically developing AI technology. Elon Musk is using Nvidia chips to develop an AI system that would equip the Tesla vehicles with new upgrades, including self-driving.
What’s next for an electric car? Simple. Make it drive itself. Tesla has been experimenting with south-driving cars for quite a few years now. After they launched their successful line of electric cars. The next thing the vehicle company focused on, is to make it self-reliant. However, they haven’t quite achieved what they set out for yet. The south driving features of Tesla vehicles are still premature, so Elon Musk wants to up the ante and make his vehicles more sought after than ever.
How Much Would an Nvidia Tesla Supercomputer be Worth?
According to reports, Tesla is not afraid to drop around to $2 billion on training AI for this year alone. And how does Nvidia calm into all of these developments? Well Musk is planning to use around 10,000 Nvidia H 100 GPUs to make quote more powerful than the world’s third highest performing supercomputer.“
By employing these 10,000 units of GPU on vehicles, Musk hopes to create an Nvidia Tesla supercomputer that could enhance the self-driving technology already in place on Tesla vehicles. But that isn’t the final goal for the electric motor company. According to reports, Elon Musk wants Teslas to eventually become so self-sufficient that they dominate the roads as “ Robo taxis.” His whole premise of this project is to use Tesla vehicles in competition with Uber, or Lyft, where customers can book a Tesla, using their phones and an unmanned vehicle will come to their location.
Although Musk is quite ambitious with what he envisions Tesla to become in the future, it can be a long way from this development. For starters, he needs to collaborate with Nvidia to get the supplies to equip his Tesla. However, if the stock market will be the basis of how successful the Nvidia Tesla supercomputer can be, it looks very promising. Just the announcement and the start of the development of the computer alone helped Tesla’s stock rise in the markets and by association with Nvidia as well. The result of this project remains to be seen when Tesla has finally developed their prototype, but Elon Musk in the whole world remains helpful.
