Self-driving car computers could be as bad for emissions as datacenters: study
say the framework they've built to model carbon emissions from computers inside autonomous vehicles should call attention to hidden carbon costs and help the auto industry plan for a greener future.
Vivienne Sze, MIT associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science and co-author on the paper.
Modeling something like carbon emissions from onboard AV computing can look simple, said paper lead author and MIT graduate student Soumya Sudhakar,"but each of those variables contains a lot of uncertainty because we are considering an emerging application that is not here yet." Setting aside the potentially limiting assumptions made in the paper, the researchers say that in most of their scenarios, AV computing power doesn't just meet the aforementioned 2018 datacenter emissions number, but soars past it, unless onboard computers are kept to less than 1.2 kilowatts of power for computing.
