I have a general question about self driving tech/software. I assume the data from the cameras/lidars is processed via something like a "stream". How can a company or their devs make sure that stream never enters a buffering state? Similar to a video platform when the viewer gets a loading spinner in the middle of a movie or a stuttering frame rate. Self driving tech processes much more data and it sounds to me like this is bound to happen.

You either can assure you have enough processing power to stay within cycle budgets, or prioritize objects or whatever and try to process the n most meaningful ones. Getting these priorities wrong can get you into trouble. But at least the framerate is ok =;-). This is normal business in realtime systems.
