My source is a chat with several engineers at companies I cannot disclose. I also used to work for a company that develops autonomous navigation solution. If you have on the order of 10 LIDARS on your vehicle and same number of cameras and other sensors, I can assure you a single Drive PX will not be enough for even basic processing of that data.
Also note, that a high end gaming computer can easily exceed peak usage of 1kW, and if it is packed with say 4GPU's it very quickly approaches 2kW. The computers have custom cooling loops and vent outside, exact solutions vary between companies.
And even with all that compute, nobody out there is any close to level 4, better yet level 5. And Tesla promises to solve level 5 with drive PX, few cameras and a radar (not a single LIDAR) and magical software. I'd really like to see this :)
