Tesla (TSLA, Financial) shares increased over 1.8%, reaching $327.9. The rise follows news of Tesla's upcoming internal test launch of its Robotaxi service in Austin, USA. Initially, the service will be limited, with only about 10 vehicles and available exclusively to company employees and invited guests.
Additionally, Tesla's next-generation Full Self-Driving (FSD) chip, HW5, has entered mass production. Manufactured by TSMC and Samsung using the 3nm N3P process, the chip achieves 2000 to 2500 TOPS, offering five times the performance of the current HW4 chip. This enhancement supports more complex unsupervised FSD algorithms.
