Abstract
Tesla's full self-driving (FSD) computer is the world's first purpose-built computer for the highly demanding workloads of autonomous driving. It is based on a new System on a Chip (SoC) that integrates industry standard components such as CPUs, ISP, and GPU, together with our custom neural network accelerators. The FSD computer is capable of processing up to 2300 frames per second, a 21× improvement over Tesla's previous hardware and at a lower cost, and when fully utilized, enables a new level of safety and autonomy on the road.
