Do the newer systems assume network connectivity to a backend processing facility?

Personally, I view each additional layer (network, someone else's data center, machine learning) to be something that can fail and put people in danger. Assurance via local brute force is much more reassuring for me.

I can't see a system where processing is done remotely as working very well, nor is it very necessary as the hardware requirements shouldn't be that high. Training could definitely occur in a data center, but that is done offline.

No. The current Tesla Autopilot v2 system has 8 cameras and must be able to react in milliseconds. They do the computation onboard with an Nvidia Drive PX2 computer.
