Waymo — "A look under our trunk: what’s in our compute" - CleanTechnica

Waymo built a 5nm ASIC delivering 1,000+ TOPS for real-time processing of 13 sensors, enabling millisecond-latency driving without human backup. For tech leaders, this deterministic edge-compute becomes the safety-critical AI benchmark; hardware-algorithm co-design signals the shift toward custom silicon for autonomy differentiation.

Waymo lifts the lid on the ‘brain’ powering its robotaxis

Waymo revealed its 5nm custom ASIC with 1-quadrillion-TOPS ML-primary architecture for real-time sensor fusion across 13 cameras deployed in robotaxi trunks. Hardware costs dropped 80% to $20–25k per vehicle, yet remain a critical scalability bottleneck and supply chain dependency (AMD, Nvidia, TSMC).
