Micron says driverless cars and robots will need 300GB of RAM - Divisions by zero

Whoever at micron that said this is obviously some novel kind of idiot.

With the current level of tech in a car, you’re already likely pushing 300GB in total. There’s dozens of high-compute ECUs doing all sorts of things, running some *nix OS and using anywhere from a couple GB to well… way more.

to reach full driverless capability, those will need to become more powerful, the software will require more memory, and the number of compute modules will likely increase as well for sensors and other stuff.

300GB IMO is probably a conservative estimate.

The actual article (and the call it is reporting on, with statements from the CEO) says that 16GB is the average in new cars today. No need to make stuff up.
