  Most business decisions are made with analysis, but some are judgment calls
not susceptible to analysis due to time or information constraints. In this
article, we present a real-life case study of critical business decision making
of PerceptIn, an autonomous driving technology startup. In early years of
PerceptIn, PerceptIn had to make a decision on the design of computing systems
for its autonomous vehicle products. By providing details on PerceptIn's
decision process and the results of the decision, we hope to provide some
insights that can be beneficial to entrepreneurs and engineering managers in
technology startups.
