The engineers over at NVIDIA claim to have harnessed the power of Thor. Actually, that I made up.

A new Bloomberg article popped up in recent days with a headline that sort of irked me.

In June 2019 after Tesla’s Autonomy Investor Day, we did a deep dive into Tesla’s HW3 chip that explored the various capabilities and potential of the HW3 processor system on a chip (SoC). I may have geeked out a little and made that a bit too technical, so I will try not to repeat that mistake in this article. Long story short, HW3 is a total beast.
