4:11 that when the car is not used the hardware can be used to build a distributed computing system
4:18 now let's reason a bit about these numbers they estimate 100 million robotaxis on the road each
4:24 of the car features a 1kW of power chip which of course then has to be recalculated down to
4:31 the computing power this results in 100GW of distributed inference power and this is quite
4:38 a number the biggest question is it usable um you know probably yes for their case but you
4:45 would need a really high communication speed and you know when we're talking about data centers
4:51 this is hundreds of gigabytes per second and you can't expect this with a home Wi-Fi right so this
4:59 all is a bit of a stretch in general Tesla is scaling up their computing to TW range
The cars are turning telepathic!
