How Much Power Do Autonomous Vehicles Use? A Lot

How Much Power Do Autonomous Vehicles Use? A LotArticle By : Bill SchweberA paper from MIT looked at the energy consumption required to support AV processing power. A 12-page paper from a team at MIT and published in IEEE Micro looked at the energy consumption required to support the processing power of autonomous vehicles (Figure 1). I suspect that for designers of autonomous vehicles, their greater immediate concern is the heat load that the processing system adds to the vehicle. What’s your view on the power-consumption scenario of autonomous vehicles?
