20 Ağustos 2026Bllomberg

Google's Waymo has developed a custom chip aimed at enhancing the performance of its robotaxis. This move not only boosts the efficiency of its autonomous vehicles but also reduces reliance on third-party chip suppliers like Nvidia Corp.
The new chip is expected to play a crucial role in advancing Waymo's technology in the competitive autonomous driving market.
The autonomous vehicle industry is becoming increasingly competitive, with several companies vying for dominance. As technology advances, the need for specialized hardware that can handle complex algorithms and data processing in real-time becomes paramount.
Waymo's decision to create its own chip reflects a broader trend in the tech industry where companies seek greater control over their hardware. By developing proprietary technology, Waymo can optimize its robotaxi performance while mitigating supply chain risks associated with external suppliers.
