Yeah. Risky compared to Intel. Intel manufactures chips _right now_. They have lost their process edge, but if I have to put chips into a drone tomorrow, I'm betting on Intel rather than any bag of scrappy kids. The risk that they _can't_ produce chips is the same risk as that of Hillsboro Oregon getting carpet bombed -- which is of course not 0%.
If you think getting a couple million dollars of funding and expecting to show profitability in a few years is hard, just wait till you try it with billions and 5+ years.
It would take a decade and hundreds of billions of dollars with no guarantee it would work.
It's a terrible idea
That's extremely risky, like 100 to 1.
Sure tough business but, risky compared to what? Intel?
