They’re putting electron apps into cars?😱
Autonomous cars will need 300 gigabytes of DRAM or more
So regular cars won’t. OK.
It doesn’t mean that RAM won’t be there. Remember microwave ovens from 30 years ago? 2 electromechanical switches: power and timer. That’s all that is needed. And look at modern microwaves now… Interesting how much RAM they have already. 64 KiB? 8 MiB? More?
This page from STMicroelectronics suggests a microwave microcontroller would have about 40 KB of RAM and 256 KB of flash storage.
I am assuming this is for a relatively mainstream microwave without a bloated interface and ads.
Although it seems there are mutiple microcontrollers for different components.
Hell fucking no. My car definitely won’t be having 300GB of RAM in it - the only automata driving will be me
Context: CEO of a RAM manufacturing company to investors.
I can assure you, my next car will not.
I think 2020 is about the limit for me with all the mandatory bullshit trying to grab my attention in newer vehicles.
I have a 2021 Seat Leon FR PHEV, it is advanced enough.
To be perfectly frank, I’d be happy with a Volvo 960 from '96, as long as I could integrate CarPlay in it.
How do you find it? I had the misfortune of hiring a new Golf for work recently on a 700 mile round trip and hated every minute of it - it just wouldn’t shut the fuck up and let me drive. It was obsessed with trying to intervene everywhere, and when I figured out how to turn it all off, it was right back there again next time I got in.
My car forgets where it’s up to on a long mp3 when you switch it off
Your car supports mp3s? Sick flex bro
You have to add audio fluid.
