Any ideas about how they're solving the need to constantly update meta data like speed limits or POI names? This is the part of the OSM data set I found particularly weak when comparing vs. Google Maps.

For those I assume licensing data from commercial providers. For Germany geocoding for example Mapbox uses government data, not OpenStreetMap (found out reading a github issue when another user asked why an OSM change wasn't reflected). https://www.mapillary.com/imagery https://www.mapillary.com/imagery is using image recognition for traffic signs and lists Mapbox as a user.
