And Uber? i didn't make any claims about the current status, but a few years out. Tesla is using radar, instead of lidar, and cameras. Their goal is fully autonomous and they believe they can do it with their current set up. Their equipment could change, of course, but they will soon be shipping 100,000 cars a year.

While you're picking nits and calling things wrong, note that a lidar-equipped Tesla has been seen at Tesla HQ. So it's not zero, but that's OK, I won't refer to your statement as being "false", just over-confident.
First, tesla collects zero lidar data. So no, they don't, because they don't collect the same kind of sensor data.
The second assumption is that the sensor data google is collecting, that is similar to tesla's, can only be collected by google's self driving fleet ,and not any of the other ways google has to collect data.
Because, as above, it's not the same kind of sensor data, this is also false.
