According to CNBC, Tesla is teaming up with AMD to develop a custom chip optimized for AI, to be used for self-driving features in Tesla cars. The head of Tesla's "Autopilot" team is Jim Keller, formerly of AMD and Apple, who helped design the A4 and A5 chips while working at Apple and was lead architect on the Athlon 64 at AMD.

GlobalFoundries, which fabricates chips for Advanced Micro Devices Inc, said on Thursday that Tesla had not committed to working with it on any autonomous driving technology or product, contradicting an earlier media report. [...] The spokesperson for GlobalFoundries said that Jha’s comments at the GlobalFoundries Technology Conference were not reported accurately.

The spontaneous horrific fiery crashes of Tesla have teamed up with the decimal point-misplacing precision of AMD to bring you the ultimate In-Q-Tel-funded killmobiles! For national security!

Got a citation for that? The only such bug I can find was the well-known one from Intel:

And it doesn't even run on alcohol? Or any other freedom fuel for that matter? For shame!

This story was refuted in the comments on slashdot when it was posted yesterday. This was fake news yesterday and is fake news today. Go check the comments if in doubt.
Wish beauhd or msmash or whoever keeps cross posting these fucking articles would get banned.

Hi, I submitted the story about a half day before it went up at Slashdot. I don't know when the Slashdot story was submitted, but it could have been submitted after I submitted mine if they grab stories out of their queue faster.
It's not great that it appeared here after it appeared on Slashdot and was debunked, but I'm not angry about it.
Also, I was careful to put the word "Reportedly" in the headline. The story I submitted was correct: CNBC did report that according to "a source" this story was true. Please don't accuse me of spreading "fake news".
The definitive debunking comment was this one: https://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=11141441&cid=55238497 [slashdot.org] That was posted by Charlie Demerjian, an editor at the SemiAccurate [semiaccurate.com] web site. (Or at least that's who that poster claims to be.)
I really wonder if the "source" who tipped off CNBC was holding a short position in AMD stock or something.

But this market is a fast moving target (like pedestrians??), with new sensors and new algorithms all the time.
