Waymo Vs. Tesla, The Race To The Autonomous Car

  • While existing car manufacturers are pouring resources into the development of fully autonomous cars, they lack some of the crucial capabilities required.
  • As such, they risk being upstaged by newcomers who are forcing them to either acquire, partner, or develop these capabilities.
  • Here, we look at two of these newcomers who seem to be at the top of the race to develop the fully autonomous car, Tesla and Waymo.
  • In comparing the two, Tesla looks to be more like Apple, keeping the tech for itself, while Waymo
  • In comparing the two, Tesla looks to be more like Apple, keeping the tech for itself, while Waymo is more like Android, willing to license its tech.
