This article is rubbish. Everytime I see something along the lines of speeding up connectivity I cringe. What does on-board processing have to do with connectivity? Zero. Big deal, you can process the things on board. The real challenge is getting them out. From what I recall, with all the new sensors on board these self driving vehicles generate a ton of data. A huge value driver is getting the data out and that relies on infrastructure. >The exact instrumentation details of specific manufacturers or suppliers are not in the public domain, but some Tier 1 suppliers do provide insights into the order of magnitude of the problem. > A paper published by Dell EMC and Altran (Radtke, 2017) reveals that just a single forward facing radar operating at 2800 MBits / s generates more than 1.26 TB of data per hour, and a typical data collection car generates in excess of 30TB a day. Similarly, a two megapixel camera (24 bits per pixel) operating at 30 frames per second generates 1440 Mbits of data every second, so a five camera setup can generate in excess of 24 TB per day..... >This oversimplified setup generates in excess of 3TB of raw video data every hour, which I will further reduce to just 1TB per hour (to accommodate any variation in the hardware or the sampling rate [1] [1](https://devblogs.nvidia.com/training-self-driving-vehicles-challenge-scale/ https://devblogs.nvidia.com/training-self-driving-vehicles-c...)
