## Quote — verbatim

> We also have very early conversations with AV makers... an autonomous vehicle maker that is exploring using Akash in their cars, because the cars have like six GPUs — in the night when they're parking they're not using them, so it's a great time to put the supply on Akash... use cases like that, that are so extreme... they're not possible on web 2.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Striking edge-compute vision: consumer vehicles as revenue-earning GPU providers; the carmaker would first use its own fleet's GPUs for internal ML, then open to the market.
