By that standard, Tesla remains far behind. These chips handle the bulk of sensor fusion, perception, and path-planning workloads. Last year, Wang Yunpeng, head of the autonomous driving unit at Baidu, China’s search engine and AI giant, claimed Tesla was at least three to five years behind. Another strategic dependency is chips.

ARPA-E to award up to $10M to study cold fusion (LENR)

Green Car Congress

ARPA-E acknowledges the complex, controversial history of LENR beginning with the announcement by Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons (FP) in 1989 that they had achieved deuterium-deuterium (D-D) “cold fusion” in an electrochemical cell. Multiple books recount the history of “cold fusion” (now known as LENR).
