I hate to bring this to your attention but Nvidia is not pushing to use their full desktop GPUs in the car. In fact they have a system specially designed for use in cars which they "claim" (I have not scrutinized the numbers) is extremely efficient on a power per watt basis (AKA Nvidia DRIVE PX2). I'd keep an eye on this platform myself.

Copy pasting my comment from below:

I'm aware (excruciatingly aware...) of that. Our numbers are ~10X better despite a process disadvantage. And as always, Nvidia is twiddling the numbers, they exclude the cost of memory access when calculating 1 top/w, whereas we include it.

Like they don't know.

It's ok, as long as their investors don't know ;)
