Seoul: Samsung was reported in talks with Tesla to make the next generation self-driving chip based on the Samsung 7-nanometer chip production process.
According to Economic Daily Korea, the two companies have discussed the chip design several times and also exchanged the chip prototype for the Self-Driving Hardware 4 system that will come from Tesla.
South Korea’s technology giant plans to produce mass chip Tesla HW 4.0 at the main Hwasung factory in Korea using 7-nanometer processing technology in the fourth quarter of this year earlier.
Previously, a report claimed that Tesla planned the next generation self-driving chip to use the 7-nanometer process by TSMC, a Taiwan semiconductor company.
Samsung is currently the second largest contract chip manufacturer in the world 17.3 percent of market share and TSMC leads the market with a market share of 52.9 percent large.
Meanwhile, Tesla is expected to reach 1.3 million shipments in 2022.
Analysts and Ives from Wedbush Securities said that he now expects Tesla to deliver 900,000 vehicles this year and grow to 1.3 million vehicles in 2022.
Ives believes that Tesla Will benefit from disproportionate than this transition is disproportionately for electrical vehicles in the industry.
Car makers seem to be advanced from current supply chain problems that interfere with the automotive industry.
Towards the beginning of 2021, some industry observers thought it could be Tesla’s year solving a million shipments.
However, like the rest of the automotive industry, Tesla has been exposed to supply chain problems.
