SpaceX CFO Bret Johnsen：AI 将给 Starlink 带来空前需求
SpaceX 的 CFO 说人形机器人、自动驾驶这些设备都需要随时在线的连接，Starlink 会吃下这波需求，还想用 Starship 把卫星打上天做轨道算力。做机器人和自动驾驶的团队、关注卫星互联网的可以看看这思路。
SpaceX CFO Bret Johnsen 表示，人形机器人、自动驾驶汽车和海量连接终端会产生更多数据，需要始终在线的高带宽连接，这将给 Starlink 带来前所未有的需求。
他称 Starship 是公司发展的关键催化剂，下一代 direct-to-cell 和 direct-to-device 服务都将依托 Starship 更强的运载能力展开。Johnsen 还透露，Starship 将使 SpaceX 有能力发射一整批卫星组网，在轨道上提供算力服务。
这表明 SpaceX 正把卫星业务从通信扩展到太空算力方向，与地面数据中心形成潜在竞争。
SpaceX CFO Bret Johnsen: AI will create unprecedented demand for @Starlink
“Whether it’s humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles, or connection points everywhere, there’s going to be a lot more data. You’re going to need that connectivity. It’s going to need to always be on. Delivering that from space in a very high-bandwidth way is going to be incredibly compelling.
Starship is going to enable our next generation of direct-to-cell and direct-to-device, while giving us the capability to put a whole constellation of satellites up for orbital compute. All of that is driven by Starship, which is why it’s such a catalyst for our company.”
