What unique factors should we look for when determining the differences between these companies? It seems like these companies have the necessary tools for creating self-driving vehicles, so what differentiates these companies from each other?

    I'm sure that they'll all be successful to varying degrees. Timing and product strategy will be different. Waymo is looking at TaaS and Trucking right now, was first to rider only operations, and is first to multi geo rider only. Cruise TaaS and whatever GM leeches from them for personal car ownership and only operates at night (but rollerbladers and bums!) and one geo. Argo TaaS mainly.

    Out of the gate, I think Waymo will be big dog, Cruise little brother if GM doesn't fuck it up. Argo will be a fast follower and is particularly interesting to me because of their European foothold they'll have from their VW partnership, long term and geographically diverse testing, and lack of GM influence. I think Argo has intentionally been looking at being on a fast follower timeline for a very long while now, so theres even the chance that they might wind up being the tortoise in all of this.

    In the end, who knows. It's literally never been done before. The market and tech is being made from whole cloth. The tech is supremely expensive, complex, & historic. We're still mostly hopeful at this point.
