šŸš˜Tesla Files Four Patents for Wireless Charging System

Elon Muskā€™s Tesla filed four patents for a wireless charging system to power the carmakerā€™s Robotaxi plans.

Key Details:
  • The four filed patents outline an innovative smart technology structure equipped with temperature sensors and leakage prevention frameworks for adapting to various wireless charging conditions.

  • It highlights a ground pad (i.e., transmitter coil) and vehicle pad (i.e., receiver coil) that rely on inductive charging coils to transfer energy wirelessly through Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs).

  • The Robotaxi plans involve building a fully autonomous Tesla without a steering wheel or pedals.

  • Teslaā€™s Full Self-Driving (FSD) is powered by large volumes of Neural Networks (NNs) trained on driving data, such as handling turns, obstacles, and speed adjustments.

  • Tesla Vision leverages a network of cameras and Computer Vision frameworks to self-park, auto-lane change, and navigate traffic.

  • Computer Vision enables computers to interpret, analyze, and extract visual data.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • If Robotaxis can charge wirelessly, they could autonomously operate almost endlessly without human intervention.

  • Autonomous vehicles threaten ride-sharing services and trucker driver job security. Over-the-air updates, self-driving capabilities, and wireless charging systems are inconceivable for legacy carmakers.

Weave announced ā€œIsaac,ā€ the worldā€™s first personal robot thatā€™s built for the home.

Key Details:
  • ā€œIsaacā€ will autonomously tidy up endless messes, fold your laundry, and care for your house while youā€™re away.

  • ā€œIsaacā€ responds to direct voice commands or text descriptions through a user-friendly app.

  • When ā€œIsaacā€ isnā€™t needed, the personal robotā€™s camera turns off as it folds into an enclosure included in your order.

  • Weave plans to list ā€œIsaacā€ for $59,000, or 48 monthly installments of $1,385.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • ā€œIsaacā€ can organize desks, rearrange cabinets, fold laundry, detect when pets require meals, and locate lost items like your keys, wallet, or sunglasses.

  • You can also request a ā€œRemote Op,ā€ which allows a Weave operator to remotely manage, monitor, and control your ā€œIsaacā€ for specific tasks.

šŸ—£Broadcom CEO Says GPUs Arenā€™t in AIā€™s Future

During a Q3 2024 Earnings Call, Broadcom CEO Hock E. Tan explained: ā€œI used to think that general-purpose merchant silicon would winā€¦But like you, I flipped my view.ā€

ā€œGeneral-purpose merchant siliconā€ refers to semiconductors like Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) designed for various applications.

GPUs are specialized hardware built to manage heavy computational workloads through parallel processing (i.e., performing mathematical calculations simultaneously).

When we click, swipe, type, or speak to electronic devices, semiconductors search, quantify, optimize, and deliver our desired results.

Tan believes Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) offer superior performance and power efficiency over GPUs for specific AI applications.

ASICs are specialized chips designed for very specific uses. However, they canā€™t be reprogrammed after theyā€™re manufactured.
