As scary as it sounds today, a lightning-quick zero latency non-networked local LLM could provide value in an application like a self-driving car. It would be a level below Waymo's remote human support, so if the car couldn't figure out how to deal with a weird situation, it could ask the LLM what to do, hopefully avoiding the need to phone home (and perhaps handling cases where it couldn't phone home).

Waymo already has on-board NPU(s) with Transformer model(s) that are cheaper than Taalas.
