Abstract This article explores the evolution of real-time AI inference systems for autonomous vehicles, focusing on the computational challenges and innovations that enable edge processing of sensor data. It examines the significant data volume generated by modern autonomous vehicles and details the specialized hardware architectures developed to handle these processing demands. The article explores the tradeoffs between edge and cloud computing paradigms, highlighting how each approach addresses different aspects of the
autonomous driving challenge. Various model optimization techniques are discussed, including quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation, and hardware-aware neural architecture search, all of which help deploy sophisticated AI models within constrained automotive environments. The article concludes
by examining emerging trends that promise to further transform autonomous vehicle computing, including neuromorphic processing, distributed AI architectures, and continuous learning systems, which collectively point toward more adaptive and efficient computational paradigms.
