They're bulk uploads over home WiFi, and Tesla hired plenty of ML names like Andrej Karpathy. Having said that, AGI is the bottleneck for full self-driving.

Thank you, this is exactly spot on.
My personal skepticism on this subject has made me very unpopular at parties (well I don't actually go to parties, but you know) where lots of techy types go. Also earned me lots of downvotes here.
The whole conversation is unfortunately poisoned by endless wishful thinking instead of discussing hard evidence. I mean there is still a large proportion of people on here who think Tesla will somehow leapfrog Google because they have all those cars out there streaming the raw video data from their umpteen cameras back to Tesla HQ, utilizing an imaginary mobile communications standard that leapfrogs LTE by two orders of magnitude that they invented alongside their LIDAR-less L5 autonomous car software in record time.
