100% the right choice. For the around the same $700 a playstation pro costs, you can get something good. If you can pony up around $1000, you can get something great.
You'll make the cost difference up in game price savings in no time. Shit is legitimately cheap, especially if you're in no hurry.
Been a thing for all long time. See police scanners. Unfortunately going the way of the past as cops hide their coms with encryption to be even less accountable.
It's a bit grating as it's preaching to the choir here, but people mainly do not know you can replace the OS, or frankly what an OS is.
You really do have to evangelize for change to make this even occur to people.
Not really. I'm not even sure what you're disagreeing with based on the above comment.
My point is that if bog standard AI can accurately identify all of the road information from pictures, that is good news for self driving.
What was once a nearly impossible task for computers is now mundane, and can be used to improve safety/utility for self driving, especially for FOSS projects like comma.ai
Its never been confirmed by Google, so I may be wrong. It still tracks that the data harvesting company with a AI self driving car project would use free human labor to identify road hazards.
This is actually a good sign for self driving. Google was using this data as a training set for Waymo. If AI is accurately identifying vehicles and traffic markings, it should be able to process interactions with them easier.
The Kia/Hyundai "challenge" where people were stealing their cars with a USB cord is because they opted not to include an immobilizer in US models for a decade. Every other car brand had them as standard. Kia even had them as standard in non US cars, but because the USA stupidly does not have a law about it, they opted to drastically reduce car security to save a few dollars per car.
This has made them prime targets, as people know they make bad security choices whenever they can save a buck.
So a bit of both, I expect.
They can transmit any kind of data and be hooked to the internet if you like.
You're not generating models at this point. You don't need that kind of hardware to run these.
I updated the above with some links. This is spec'ed solidly for around that price:

I personally prefer AMD to Intel at this point, but it's a touch pricerer right now:

Either one will work great, but the $1200 rig is where I would recommend if you can swing it. It's the best bang for your buck, and will stay a solid gaming rig for 4-5 years, longer if you like indies:
