I don't need a Ford AI bot to help me figure out where I should spend money.

I don't want to be paying for that TWO TERABYTES of automotive RAM... Desktop RAM is expensive enough as is.

2TB?! Where's that figure from? I could use that source, and I don't see "TB" (case-sensitive) or "terabyte" in the text version of this interview (at least, I think it is; the title is close).

Edit: I saw someone claim the Mach E has only 16 GB of RAM...which can't possibly be correct (maybe they mean, only infotainment RAM and not ADAS), but I realized I didn't actually have a figure to counter with beyond speculation.

Granted, that's Micron claiming the expected usage (and we know how trustworthy Micron, Samsung and SK Hynix are...)

Edit: I'm aware it wasn't in this interview, but I was more projecting the memory cost as AI integration becomes forced.
