Physical AI Semiconductor Supply Chain — Nvidia Orin vs Thor vs Tesla FSD Chip
Nvidia Orin vs Thor vs Tesla FSD chip: how the AV inference compute supply chain — TSMC, Samsung, advanced packaging — constrains the Physical AI ramp.

LIDAR fell from $75K per unit in 2009 to under $1K today. Tesla's camera-only sensor cost per vehicle is est. 3-10x cheaper than Waymo's multi-sensor suite.
Who makes the chips, sensors, and actuators powering physical AI fleets — and which supply chain bottlenecks could stall the ramp even if the software is ready.
Layer-by-layer map of the AV and humanoid robot supply chain: LIDAR, radar, cameras, AI compute, actuators, and geopolitical risks.
Hardware, not software, is the hidden constraint on Physical AI: lidar lead times, NVIDIA Orin allocations, harmonic drives, and Waymo Zeekr dependency mapped.
