Rivian's move to proprietary autonomous driving chips is an early signal that top-tier automakers may follow Tesla away from merchant silicon over time
27% confidenceRivian's December 2025 unveiling of proprietary in-house autonomous driving chips, following Tesla's earlier move to develop its own AI5/AI6 silicon, suggests a potential trend of larger automakers bringing autonomous-driving compute in-house rather than relying on merchant silicon vendors like NVIDIA and Mobileye, which could gradually narrow those vendors' addressable market to smaller automakers over time.
This is InsightNodes' own interpretive read: NVIDIA, Huawei and Tesla together hold roughly 45% of 2025 autonomous-driving semiconductor revenue, but Rivian unveiling proprietary in-house chips in December 2025 (following Tesla's earlier move to develop its own AI5/AI6 silicon) suggests a pattern where automakers with enough scale and engineering capacity treat autonomous-driving compute as too strategically important to fully outsource -- if more automakers follow this path as the category matures, it would gradually shrink the addressable market for merchant AV silicon vendors like NVIDIA and Mobileye to the automakers that lack the scale to build in-house.
