The Tesla office feels like a modern-day computer museum as you walk past generations of vehicles, which are technically computers with wheels. Guests often ask what I am working on. “Technically, wherever photons touch those machines.” For people who work on digital computer systems, the computer is often a box. But in our world, the computer can move and must navigate weather, traffic, and terrain. Thus, our compute extends beyond ops per second to the surrounding systems that keep it moving. It is hard to go back to working on computers that don’t move once you have experienced one that can move itself.
