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.

They’re putting electron apps into cars?😱
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.
Hell fucking no. My car definitely won’t be having 300GB of RAM in it - the only automata driving will be me
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.
