SEOUL, March 19 (Reuters) - ⁠Tesla CEO Elon Musk said ⁠on Thursday that the automaker may ‌be able to "tape out", a stage when a chip design is finalised and sent to ​a factory for production, its ⁠next-generation AI6 chips ⁠in December.

Musk said last year that Samsung ⁠Electronics ‌would make the AI6 chips, likely to be used ⁠in self-driving cars and humanoid robots at ​Tesla' ‌new factory in Taylor, Texas, after ⁠the Korean ​company clinched a $16.5 billion deal to supply artificial intelligence chips to the electric ⁠car maker.
