The requirement of what you need to compare with that data though, is important. Tesla's cars are training off less detailed data, yes. But that also means they're designed to work with less data available. Google's cars require $150,000 worth of sensor hardware. Will that price go down, sure? But Tesla's will be even cheaper.

Google could easily build their software model so that it only uses a subset of the available sensors. They can then use the full set of sensors to judge the effectiveness of that model.

Tesla can't do the inverse.

I think that in 10 years time, time of flight lidars will become ubiquitous, just as common as digital cameras are now. And this will usher a new revolution of interaction between reality and the digital world.
Teleportation, obviously.

Oh how sweet it would be

for it to be me

that's the one to reveal

in days before

the IPO of many of these

(and the main other 3)

that what the world

has been waiting for

is sitting with me--

with open arms--

desperately ready to be--

with you--

always.

Some say with wonder

other with haste

all that's to be said

but even in this case

where is it again

what makes it all

seem sudden

a change

leaving the world a part

tense at the seams

knowing even then

aside from the waves

crashing toward the bitter end

it was dealt

squarely

only pausing to be

as there it is again.
