RAM used to be ~$4/GB. So 300*4=$1200. A price increase of $1200 is actually pretty darn affordable to get self driving, surely?
Sure, there are other components than RAM needed. But the RAM is not what would make it unaffordable.

Only because of current RAM prices and artificial scarcity keeping those prices high.
300GB of RAM shouldn’t be that expensive. I have 1/3 of that in my server (bought years ago). If it wasn’t for the AI bullshit, 300GB would be fairly reasonable to buy in a couple of years time.
