Jim Keller, who was assigned several years ago to develop the Zen processor architecture, left AMD before the Ryzen 7 processor began to conquer the market. As Fudzilla resembles, now Keller works in Tesla, where he oversees the development of an autopilot system for electric vehicles of this brand.
When the scandal with Mobileye erupted against the background of a fatal accident, representatives of Tesla stated that they could replace the components of this Israeli developer with their own hardware solutions. Since then we have seen only the active use of NVIDIA components in the form of Tegra processors and Pascal graphics solutions included in the DRIVE PX module.
We should not think that the fruits of his activity in Tesla will be available to buyers in the near future. The autopilot is such a spicy sphere can take years to perfect . In addition, NVIDIA is not going to lose a partner in the person of Tesla, and the leaders of these two companies are in friendly relations. However, the leadership of Tesla certainly does not regard Keller as a person from AMD, and therefore will not hamper his development with any prejudices.
