Computers that power self-driving cars could be a huge driver of global carbon emissions

Boston MA (SPX) Jan 15, 2023

In the future, the energy needed to run the powerful computers on board a global fleet of autonomous vehicles could generate as many greenhouse gas emissions as all the data centers in the world today. That is one key finding of a new study from MIT researchers that explored the potential energy consumption and related carbon emissions if autonomous vehicles are widely adopted. The d
