At least he's talking about the infotainment system, and not an internal system or something where there's no conceivable use for HTML/JS.

I wouldn't care if you're building an actual website, calling something "an HTML5 super computer" is total bullshit in any context.
Can someone emulate a Cray using JS and HTML 5 please? I want to see this HTML 5 super computer.
> "so using it let's us build our own chips"
what is the connection between HTML5 and building your own chips?
That one’s pretty obvious: The custom quantum chips enable hardware-accelerated HTML5 and power the deep neural nets that drive carbon emissions to zero.
If you really want to be charitable, it could just be it benchmarks well with Js. Maybe cache hierarchy or instruction extensions like Arm v8.3
The "build our own chips" could be like when people call entire computer towers "CPUs" and really just mean build the infotainment boards how they like. HTML 5 gives them easy portability in the case they want to change things out.
Security would probably refer to embedding something like Chromium and taking advantage of their sandbox
And "data network instead of stuff just working" could mean something like local network RPC/REST over HTTPS instead of CAN which is much more general purpose

This is all a lot of stretching... but sometimes non-technical people try to very confidently regurgitate technical things they hear while filling in the gaps
Especially because they don't realize how small changes in terms have such outsized changes in meaning (hence the calling a computer tower a CPU)
Both are things that get non-tech savvy investors excited, apparently.
"...I use CSS too!"
stock goes up 10%
They are both Venture Capital-strength buzzwords.
It's hard for me to wrap my head around time. Over 20 years ago the CxO of Sun came to one of the big automotive events and said a car is just a browser on wheels. I think he was selling coffee. Er Java? Been too long.
