The Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) Computer is a dedicated autonomous driving computer developed by Tesla using custom AI chips. It contains two redundant FSD chips capable of processing 144 trillion operations per second (TOPS), handling real-time perception from 8 cameras, radar, and ultrasonics. Deployed in Model S/3/X/Y vehicles, it forms the foundation of Tesla's autonomous driving platform and also serves as the compute backbone for the Optimus humanoid robot.
AI System-on-Chip (SoC) · serves as: AI Inference, High-level compute.
Which group Tesla FSD Computer belongs to and how it is built
Compute Modules is a subcategory of hardware components that provide processing power for robotic systems. It encompasses onboard computers, single-board computers (SBCs), AI accelerators, embedded processors, GPU/NPU compute modules, and other units responsible for processing sensor data and executing control logic. These modules form the foundation of modern autonomous, humanoid, and perception-capable robots.
Component type encompassing System-on-Chip designs used as primary compute units in embedded devices, edge AI, and robotics applications.
