Teslas will be smarter than humans by 2033 as their microchips handle 362T operations per second

Tesla's new microchip will be'more intelligent' than humans by 2033 - its processing power is currently at 36% of a person's brain. The D1 microchip can handle 362 trillion operations per second, whereas a person's brain is capable of one quadrillion operations per second (that's the number one, followed by 15 zeros), according to a study conducted by car and van leasing company Vanarama. The firm made its prediction by analyzing past and current Tesla microchips to find that their capability is increasing at an eye-popping rate of 486% per year. Elon Musk's company is set to release the new D1 chip, part of its Dojo supercomputer platform, this year - and it will be a key part of the firm's Autopilot self-driving system as it continues to develop, according to Vanarama. Tesla's new microchip will be more intelligent than humans by 2033 - its processing power is currently at 36% of a person's brain In the time it's taken you to read the graphic above, the D1 chip will have completed 7.6 quadrillion operations.
