Autonomous cars will need 300 gigabytes of DRAM or more

So regular cars won’t. OK.

It doesn’t mean that RAM won’t be there. Remember microwave ovens from 30 years ago? 2 electromechanical switches: power and timer. That’s all that is needed. And look at modern microwaves now… Interesting how much RAM they have already. 64 KiB? 8 MiB? More?

I don’t get the thing with microwaves, at least where I live, all cheap microwaves have mechanical timers, electronic microwaves are a premium product and cost more.

It seems like I saw a couple bottom end underpowered microwaves that are still mechanical, but most here are electronic. Certainly any with useful power (1100-1200w@120v) are electronic. Anything larger that on a single plate are electronic. I don’t know idpf that means I’m looking at premium products, but almost all here are.

So I have all these buttons I almost never use, all these useless programs. I have to admit the “auto-defrost” program on my current one works really well, but aside from that, I mostly use “+30s”
