Latency matters, too. Often all the data is necessary to make decisions so (for example) only immediately transmitting a limited subset of the data is not really an option.

It’s not like that rover is driving around autonomously. It has some autonomy, but it can’t decide what’s interesting and what’s not, what has to be investigated and what not.
