Interesting! I knew vaguely that Tesla built its own silicon to handle the FSD locally, but didn't realize it was such a total on-car displacement of the compute. Waymo does the same....but just not as efficiently?

Right. Tesla have done an incredible job of providing a powerful, integrated, fault tolerant stack with extremely low power consumption in-car. Waymo's stack is huge, legacy and limited (geo-fenced, so localized data, with enormous numbers of data points mapped). Takes a formidable amount of power and space!
