IF YOU’RE BETTING on Silicon Valley stars like Google, Tesla, and Uber to free you from your horrorshow commute with autonomous driving technology, don’t. That’s the key takeaway from a new report that finds Ford—yes, the Detroit-based, 113-year-old giant—is winning the race to build the
self-driving car, with
General Motors running a close second. Renault-Nissan, Daimler, and Volkswagen round out the top five. Meanwhile, Waymo—
aka Google’s driverless car effort—sits in sixth place, with
Tesla in twelfth.
Uber languishes in sixteenth, behind Honda and barely ahead of startup Nutonomy and China’s Baidu.
