Waymo reveals custom in-house chip for its robotaxis
Waymo disclosed it has built a custom 5nm ASIC, fabricated by TSMC, now in production in its latest robotaxi generation, delivering over 1,000 TOPS to process sensor data ahead of the core driving system. Each vehicle carries two of the chips for redundancy, and Waymo said it will keep pairing the in-house silicon with third-party chips from Nvidia, AMD and others to cut costs.
