Samsung began to make chips for Tesla's new on-board computer: 10 times safer than a real driver
2021-12-20
On December 20th, Samsung has begun producing chips for Tesla's advanced auxiliary driving system FSD, and has begun developing new vehicle computer products for the auto and autopilot car market. It is reported that in 2022, Samsung will launch a series of new technology equipment for electric vehicle and autopilot car market. At present, Samsung has begun to produce relevant on-board equipment, and the first batch of products will be launched in the middle and early days of January 2022. A few months ago, Samsung completed the development of new products in the electric vehicle market. At present, the changes taking place in the automotive industry make the technology companies providing internal electronic equipment not only adapt to the electrification of vehicles, but also meet the strong demand of users for better information and entertainment services and better automatic driving technology. Samsung has started the production of DDR4 memory, GDDR6 graphics card, UFS memory chip and new solid state drive. These are designed to improve the performance of electric vehicles and self driving cars, and respond faster, and the efficiency and performance of graphics and image processing are higher. Compared with the previous generation of vehicle electronic equipment, the performance of each product has been significantly improved. Samsung's new on-board SSD has a storage capacity of 256 GB, which is 7 times the reading speed of the currently available storage disk, enough to meet the needs of all electric vehicles on the market. The new batch of more powerful devices will not only provide stronger driving force for upcoming self driving cars, but will also play the same role in navigation, HD images, mobile phone links, smart phones, video transmission and 3D games. Samsung's on-board equipment has passed all appropriate stress tests, and performance inspection and analysis have been carried out in various cases. Samsung made it clear that these components comply with the aec-q100 standard and can play a full role in the extreme temperature range from minus 40 ℃ to above 40 ℃. At present, Samsung has started producing these vehicle components, will be installed in the next generation of electric vehicles and self driving cars. It is reported that the upcoming Tesla Saibo electric pickup will appear together with Tesla's new on-board computer hardware 4.0. Samsung will beat TSMC to win the contract to manufacture the chips used in the computer. As early as September this year, it was reported that the source disclosed, "Tesla and Samsung Electronics OEM departments have started chip design and sample production since the beginning of this year. Recently, Tesla decided to outsource HW 4.0 autopilot chip to Samsung. This is actually a foregone conclusion." The new HW 4.0 on-board computer will replace the HW 3.0 currently used in Tesla cars and provide technical support for Tesla's advanced driving assistance system FSD. Elon Musk previously claimed that this new computer, also known as the fully automatic driving computer version 2.0, will be "1000% safer" than human drivers. Tesla's fully automatic driving computer version 1.0 is 300% safer than human drivers. It was previously reported that Samsung would produce Tesla chips with a 7-nm process at its Huacheng factory in South Korea. Although this process is not as advanced as the 5-nm process of Samsung Electronics, it can improve production efficiency and product stability. (Xinhua News Agency)
