The first 40 self-driving BMW cars based on the Go will hit the streets in tests this year.
Autonomous cars need a lot of computational power under the hood to avoid accidents and make smart driving decisions. That horsepower comes from computers like the Go, which is configured to be faster than gaming PCs and many servers.
