Please, remember that the original technology of the so-called Autopilot was bought from MobilEye. Please remember, that MobilEye is a long-time player in this area and have deployed their technology first with BMW and later with Volvo way before it was used in Tesla. Tesla only activated features that were not ready for primetime. That was the reason why MobilEye backed off from the partnership with Tesla.

Btw. all this of collecting sensor data and improving on this, is an original idea of MobilEye that they presented at conferences before the so-called Autopilot was available from Tesla.
