       Making a car move autonomously takes a lot of computation," says
       Soumya Sudhakar, a graduate student in aeronautics and
       astronautics at MIT and first author on the study. "In data
       centers today, a lot of the workload is AI-driven. Autonomous
       vehicles will also [rely on] AI to interact with the
       environment, understand what's going on, and avoid obstacles."

       "These are really large amounts of emissions when we are trying
       to get to net zero emissions as a society," says Sudhakar in a
       TEDx talk. She notes emissions from activities like listening to
       podcasts, working from home, and streaming Netflix.
       Are easy to put out of sight, out of mind. "One reason we don't

       about the direct
       connection between computing and emissions is that a lot of
       those emissions get abstracted away into data centers. But those
       centers consume electricity and produce a lot of emissions," she
       says. To quantify carbon emissions from autonomous vehicles, the
       researchers considered four factors: The number of autonomous
       vehicles on the road. There are 1.2 billion cars today. How many
       hours per day each vehicle is driven. The computer power needed
       to support those vehicles for that amount of time per day.

       The carbon intensity of the power source (gas/goal/wind/solar).
       “On its own, that looks like a deceptively simple equation,"
       Sudhakar says. "But each of those variables contains a lot of
       uncertainty because we are considering an emerging application
       that is not here yet." Emissions for autonomous vehicles.

       keep things simple, the team used the average carbon intensity
       of power used in 2020. They estimated a maximum of 1 billion
       autonomous vehicles on the road
