Mercedes-Benz Spins Out Chip Group Athos Silicon

Mercedes-Benz Spins Out Chip Group Athos Silicon

Mercedes-Benz created a new company called Athos Silicon in Silicon Valley.

Athos Silicon will make special computer chips for self-driving cars, drones, and other vehicles.

These chips will use less power than older chips, which is good for electric cars.

Mercedes-Benz gave Athos Silicon some money and technology to help them get started.

Athos Silicon will be able to work with different car companies and not just Mercedes-Benz.

The new chips use tiny chip pieces called 'chiplets' that work together.

This is a more energy-efficient way to make computer chips for vehicles.
