Camera MobilEye used in many systems of active driver assistance, relying on visual recognition of obstacles, but the Israeli developers could not get along with Tesla Motors. American manufacturer of electric component used MobilEye base, but the software it developed initially annoyed the Israelis.
For a long time it was believed that Tesla Motors will develop their own processors, which can replace products MobilEye. However, as explained Electrek.co resource with reference to informed sources, in fact, Tesla Motors longtime partner in the face of NVIDIA, to help create a learning systems Machine Vision, which uses accelerated computation using CUDA.
What hardware will be installed in the electric Tesla, is not specified. It is possible that we are talking about a particular modification DRIVE PX2 - the onboard computer is equipped with one or two processors, Tegra, and two GPUs GP106 (Pascal) to the most advanced version. Now Tesla electric cars use no more than two Tegra processors, with one of them works in a multimedia system, and management in general not engaged.
Earlier, Tesla Motors representatives admitted that the existing hardware stuffing electric brand is already close to exhausting its potential performance. It was subjected to two years of modernization, and software algorithms are becoming more complex. Colleagues suggest that at an event next Monday, Tesla Motors can introduce a new hardware base for active driver assistance systems.
