In all the vehicle recording systems I've worked with (for a local municipality's police video recording) the only video data that would be stored is video data that is pertinent.

So you wouldn't record and store an officer's complete shift. When the officer turned on his lights or siren, the device would rewind 30-45 seconds and start recording. It would then record until the lights/siren were disengaged. That is the video that would be uploaded.

So I think a more likely scenario is that the autonomous cars would in fact permanently store and share all GPS data, but data from the sensors would only store what was recorded with a reasonable buffer around a fault event such as a collision.

Ubiquitous 5g could allow for constant data egress.
