My mouse has a 1000Hz polling rate. Is 1000Hz really good enough for excellent traction control? I'm sure it's fine for most situations, but the small amount that it's not good for are probably the ones that matter the most.
I expect you could turn your mouse's polling rate down to 200Hz and not notice any difference, even gaming. Also, a mouse is a very precise control; much more so than the controls of a car. I could certainly be wrong, but my intuition suggests that a 1000Hz sensor polling rate would be fine for an autonomous vehicle.
