Why Your Next Car Might Soon Need 300GB Of RAM

Today’s Level 2 driver-assist systems still require full attention at all times. Reaching L4 autonomy demands huge computing power without any human input. Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra says this tech will need significantly more RAM. If you’re a gamer, a video editor, or even just a casual enjoyer of tech products, you’ll likely know that the demand for RAM, thanks to AI, is driving up prices as fast as the war in Iran is driving up oil prices . But it may not be just data centers gobbling up memory: driverless cars may be coming for it too. At least, that’s the prediction from Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, made on a company earnings call. He predicts that the coming generations of Level 4 self-driving cars and advanced robots might demand over 300GB of RAM each. That is a huge leap compared to what’s found in current cars with Level 2 ADAS that can consume approximately 16GB.

Concept styling carries over largely intact, but the large rear wing is gone for now. A new Chinese sports car is on the way, and it’s aiming straight at one of the most recognizable nameplates in the business.

Other Tesla models will be updated with these safer door releases. Following a spate of fatal incidents involving Tesla models with door handles that allegedly couldn’t be opened after a crash, and several lawsuits, we now have our first chance to see the new inner door handles that Tesla has developed.
