We can have a hundred millions of self-driving cars dumping the sub-centimeter LIDAR data of surrounding to OpenStreetMap at any given time.
Come to think of it, I see zero reasons why you won't own measurements of your self-driving car, and choose to upload them. Yes corporations may try to pass it as their intellectual property, we should fend them so hard they roll back into XIX century.

I’m not optimistic that the individual owners of cars will be able to read from the LIDAR bus without – at best – voiding their car’s warranty.

This sounds more radical than it is or than your argument needs it to be. The first suggestion stands well enough on its own.
