Waymo builds its own chip for its robotaxis, cutting its reliance on Nvidia

Waymo Built A 5nm Chip That Decides What Its Robotaxis See

Waymo's Ojai robotaxis use a 5nm ASIC that preprocesses sensor data at 1,000+ TOPS, offloading work before the driving stack. This signals that vertically-integrated sensor silicon plus commercial GPUs for inference is the battle-tested production model for autonomous systems.
