Nobody believes this. This pure PR commissioned article. Shame on The Verge to publish this.<p>I am all for competition, but at the moment, we are not seeing any of what this article describes.
Yeah fucking right. According to some bullshit market research company Detroit is ahead even though Tesla is the only company with an easily software updatable car with self driving hardware, and GM recently acquired Cruise for their autonomous tech? Okay, sure. Clearly the financial markets do not agree with this headline.
Well, sounds like lots of money in GM if it's going to be the first with autonomous car technology. Best get on it now when it's cheap. After all, they've perfected the hard part of building the cars, and there's only the trivial task of automating the driving that remains.
