Edge computing applications in autonomous vehicles are changing what modern vehicles can actually do and how fast they can do it. The whole premise of a self-driving car falls apart if the system has to wait on a distant server before deciding whether to brake. Milliseconds matter. That is why low-latency processing, handled on or near the vehicle itself, has become the architectural backbone of serious autonomous driving development.
