MIT Study FInds Huge Carbon Cost to Self-Driving Cars

31 Jan 2023 | Abstracted from Dezeen

"The study found that with a mass global takeup of autonomous vehicles, the powerful onboard computers needed to run them could generate as many greenhouse gas emissions as all the data centres in operation today.

"These data centres currently produce around 0.14 gigatonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year...a similar amount would be generated by one billion autonomous vehicles - fewer than the number of cars in the world today - each driving one hour per day with a computer consuming 840 watts of power."
