I like his commentary a lot and I think he has huge potential, so here a few little things that he could improve:
If you have trouble with funding your hardware I'm sure redditors will be glad to help you out a bit.
I just bought a used Microsoft LifeCam Cinema for $15 off Amazon, although the seller has a pretty bad rating (62%). I figured for $15, it was worth a buy. And if there was something wrong with the cam, then I'd just dispute it on Amazon.
I don't know much about the webcam market, but I did a little shopping around and it seems like the Microsoft LifeCam Studio and the Logitech HD Pro C920 are the two flagships. There aren't that many other companies that seem to come close, as all the other webcams I've seen have well under 100 reviews on Amazon.
That doesn't look like 2.0 hardware. The two cameras mounted inside the car, pointing left and right, look like Microsoft LifeCams, and I was pretty sure that Autopilot 2.0 required cameras on the side mirrors. It seems more likely that this is a test platform for correlating the Model S and Model X autopilot programs, with extra dash cams to document tricky situations the car gets into.
I heard this one is supposed to be real good for low-light conditions, the reviews are phenominal, and it's half price if you have Amazon prime.
Microsoft LifeCam Cinema 720p HD Webcam
I've been thinking about it as well. I've got this lifecam and the included software comes with limited manual controls (pic). It would be good for doing a youtube show, but it would be pretty difficult to film anything else. You obviously can't use a tripod or any other standard film equipment but I'm sure you can find creative ways to make a simple video. But obviously a proper camera would make the whole process much easier and the final product would look better.
It looks like the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema webcam is very popular these days. Unless you have a used philips Toucam laying around.

To each his own
I did my own little comparison with the Yeti and this

that i've been using for two/three years (disregarding the webcam portion that I don't really use)
Found no differences, no matter how much I tinkered with the "versatile" yeti.
