Global Fleet of Autonomous Vehicles May Emit More Carbon Than Argentina

A global fleet of autonomous vehicles could exceed the carbon emissions of all data centers today, which already make up a staggering 0.3% of global emissions. Autonomous vehicles will also [rely on] AI to interact with the environment, understand what's going on, and avoid obstacles." To quantify carbon emissions from autonomous vehicles, the researchers considered four factors:The number of autonomous vehicles on the road. Equation to quantify the carbon emissions of autonomous vehicles. She believes robots can be programmed to understand their total carbon emissions, and use machine learning to manage their own carbon footprint from computing.
