Why autonomous vehicles will rely on edge computing and not the cloud ZDNet

This ebook, based on the latest ZDNet / TechRepublic special feature, examines how driverless cars, trucks, semis, delivery vehicles, drones, and other UAVs are poised to unleash a new level of automation in the enterprise. We all know and love the cloud. What's not to love about not having to bother with what your own devices can do, and having near-infinite, elastic storage and compute power at your fingertips? In the end, as the aphorism goes, the cloud is just someone else's computer. Okay, it may be millions of computers, thoughtfully arranged in clusters in super efficient data centers -- but all those are someone else's computers.
