I'd say the data that Tesla collects is of lower value, because it doesn't have sensor info from a different modality. Other companies are getting a good reference to ground truth for both camera to lidar and lidar to camera. I don't know how much more valuable accurate distance sensing over a 3d field is compared to not having it, but I so know it's more valuable.

It may be valuable enough to require a few petaflops less computing power.
