Part of the reason is that, in current ecosystem, companies will find ways in which self-driving requires being constantly on-line and connected to vendor's server. Off-line processing is not in fashion these days.

Off-line processing is absolutely in fashion with SDCs. Can't quickly react to a pedestrian jumping in front of your car when you have to bounce 12 1080p video streams to a AWS server.

Fashion or not, the speed of light is not going anywhere - latency can only be added, never removed. If the choice is "process locally or receive stale data", it's not actually a choice.
