It seems Tesla and Mobileye were at one time planning on a bright future together, because Tesla didn't have any kind of a back-up plan. But Mobileye isn't sitting still, so if the relationship hadn't been terminated, Tesla would've been stuck with whatever Mobileye's latest and greatest offering might be. What's interesting is that if you compare the HW2 sensor suite to Mobileye's next-gen sensor plans, they are very similar, almost the same. They were both working on something together before the relationship went sour. Musk hinted recently that 1 PX2 is not enough, and that 2 may be necessary for L4. There's certainly no consensus as to how much compute is needed, the more the better, but I'm skeptical that the hardware costs will be low enough near term to justify putting it in privately owned autonomous cars. I think Tesla has made costly strategic errors in the Autonomy department, and that Musk in particular has repeatedly underestimated the challenge of developing a fully autonomous vehicle. I don't think he's making that mistake anymore.
