The safety of autonomous vehicles (AVs) depends on their ability to perform complex computations on high-volume sensor data in a timely manner. Their ability to run these computations with state-of-the-art models is limited by the processing power and slow update cycles of their onboard hardware. In contrast, cloud computing offers the ability to burst computation to vast amounts of the latest gen...
