I wonder? Tesla New Chips Made by New Suppliers., page-86

No idea about Tesla but the following certainly makes clear why Brainchip will be the darling of NASA, Ford, Valeo and Renesas:

"Power consumption is always a concern with chips, but it is especially the case for chips that go into cars and especially electric cars, due to the concerns over range and efficiency.

Of course, in an electric car, the power consumption of the powertrain is going to dwarf the power consumption of the on-board computer, but with self-driving capabilities, on-board computers are starting to be more demanding and they affect efficiency."

Before the recent announcement that AKD1000 had been modified and now is even more powerful and uses even less electrical power it was said to run at a maximum of 100 uW's with many functions running at mW's. There is just no competitor at the edge capable of these power consumption levels.

My opinion only DYOR
