Samsung Taylor 2nm Fab Starts, Tesla AI Chips First

Samsung Taylor 2nm Fab Starts, Tesla AI Chips First
Samsung Electronics is accelerating its U.S. foundry strategy with the Taylor plant set to begin operations, anchored by 2-nanometer AI chips for Tesla’s next-generation self-driving platforms. After breaking ground in late 2022 with an initial $17 billion investment, Samsung’s Taylor fab is now holding its equipment installation ceremony and transitioning from build-out to run-up. For the U.S. semiconductor base, Taylor represents an advanced-node capacity point that complements Samsung’s existing Austin operations and expands domestic options beyond a single supplier. Tesla’s AI5 design has taped out, signaling it is ready for volume manufacturing, with AI6 following closely and expected to incorporate low-power DDR (LPDDR) memory to meet stringent automotive power budgets.

GM to Add Google Gemini AI to OnStar in 2026

GM to Add Google Gemini AI to OnStar in 2026
General Motors will begin rolling out a Google Gemini–powered conversational assistant across Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC in 2026, advancing the automaker’s in-cabin AI strategy and resetting expectations for voice-driven services in connected vehicles. GM plans to deliver a new assistant, built on Google’s Gemini family, as an over-the-air update via the Play Store to eligible OnStar-equipped vehicles from model year 2015 and newer. At launch, drivers should see more natural interactions: the assistant will understand free-form requests, maintain context across turns, and cope better with accents and phrasing. GM says the assistant will tap vehicle data to push maintenance alerts and route suggestions as well.

Wayve Self-Driving AI Trials in Tokyo with Nissan

Wayve Self-Driving AI Trials in Tokyo with Nissan
Wayve’s end-to-end driving AI is now running in Nissan Ariya electric vehicles in Tokyo, marking a pragmatic step toward consumer deployment in 2027. The test vehicles combine a camera-first approach with radar and a lidar unit for redundancy, aligning with Japan’s dense urban environment and complex traffic patterns. The initial commercial target is “eyes on, hands off” Level 2 driver assistance, with drivers remaining responsible and ready to take over. Nvidia has signed a letter of intent for a potential $500 million investment in Wayve’s next funding round, reinforcing the compute-intensive nature of the program.
