What to Expect

The Self-Driving Hardware team is responsible for designing the computing hardware that deliver the autonomous driving capability of Tesla vehicles and humanoid robots, as well as computing infrastructure for data center. We design the complex high speed boards that delivers the compute performance while meeting the efficiency, cost, reliability and safety goals. The controller has to interface to all the sensory elements that provide the vital inputs to self-driving to make the right decision. The end result is a world-changing product delivering a superior user experience.
