According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla has unveiled a patented technology designed to extend the operational life of HW3 vehicles by enabling modern, high-precision AI models to run on older, lower-precision hardware. Rather than requiring expensive new silicon, Tesla's approach uses advanced mathematical techniques and software to split high-precision data into smaller segments that existing AI3 hardware can process efficiently. This innovation could allow legacy Tesla vehicles to benefit from the latest AI-driven autonomous features, creating new business opportunities in AI software updates and aftersales services for the automotive industry (Source: driveteslacanada.ca/news/tesla-breakthrough-extend-life-of-hw3-cars/).
