Sorry, but where is a Jetson TX2 module available for <200$?

Jetson Tx2 4GB module is expected to be <$200 and released in Q3 of 2019. It's expected to replace the TX1 in price but double the CUDA cores. It's pretty much a budget version of the current TX2 since Xavier started rolling out.

expected, expected, expected. nvidia doesn't care about the jetson line and they keep overpromising and underdelivering.

Hmm not too sure about using it in the industry and their over-promises. However, I did buy a TX2 to build my portfolio personally and it's been pretty fun so far. 256 CUDA cores is definitely not a lot to play with though.

the DLA makes up for the low # of cores. doesn't matter though because you can't buy them in volume

You can get a Jetson TX2 Kit (edu bundle for $299, I think normal is Around 599.

Thanks for taking the time to share the link, was interested in diving into the deep rabbit hole for a self-driving contraption and 300$ off is quite an incentive.

Your welcome :)

It’s a nice board for sure (I have a few). I personally use a more powerful desktop setup with a few nvidia 1080ti cards, mounted in a trunk of a 2017 Honda. The tx2 is definitely a good platform for a powerful RC car setup or similar, especially with the discount. When it comes down to it, during the dev/learning cycle, any general setup will do.
