Can the Cloud Drive? Infrastructure Feasibility of Offloading Autonomous Driving Across 5G and 6G
Pouya Parsa, Kawon Han, Seongjin Choi
Frontier autonomous-driving models -- especially vision-language-action (VLA) models, whose forward pass approaches $\sim$60~TFLOPs -- are outgrowing economical onboard deployment, since peak hardware sits idle most of the day. Cloud inference can instead share GPUs across active…
