Elon Musk: Full self-driving chip coming to old Tesla models this year
Tesla CEO Elon Musk likes to make bold, lofty promises, and his latest claim is a prime example.
He said his EV company will [most likely][2] bring its new processing chip to older vehicles by the end of the year. Called the Full Self-Driving Chip, it is Tesla's first in-house designed chip. Musk recently described it as "the best chip in the world" - as it features six billion transistors and supposedly offers 21-times the performance of the previous HW2+ Nvidia hardware that Tesla was using.
The new [FSD chip,][3] which Musk said will one day power fully self-driving cars, has been shipping in Model S, X, and 3 cars. And, soon, it will come to roughly 500,000 [existing Tesla vehicles.][4] It will be offered for free to any Tesla owners who have paid for the "Full Self-Driving" add-on package, which costs $6,000 in the US and gives owners access to Tesla's Navigate on Autopilot feature.
> End of Q4, most likely

Currently, Tesla vehicles can bring you on and off highways, do lane-changes, automatic steering, adaptive cruise control, and more, but they are not yet fully autonomous. For more about Tesla vehicles and the various models you can buy with the FSD chip, [see our guide here][6].
