Re: Navigant Research Leaderboard Report: Automated Driving
#2tl;dr some consulting company says that the auto companies are doing better than the tech companies by scoring "18 companies working on self-driving technology on 10 different criteria related to strategy, manufacturing, and execution."
The report itself is not available without logging in, apparently. The claims seem rather vague to me, and (admittedly, as a techy) it would seem easy to undervalue experience with software engineering at large in this endeavour.

#3GM and Ford are the leaders in self driving? Sounds like they funded this report. I see Tesla and Google as the leaders but maybe that's just my Silicon Valley bias.

#4Can this be right? Tesla and Waymo as contender and Ford and GM as leader? I mean Tesla autopilot v2 and Waymo (Google) are pretty impressive.

#5Understandably, this is focusing on the driving of traditional, 5(+/-) passenger vehicles. Is there a reason more work isn't done on driving buses and other high(er) occupancy vehicles?
I would also imagine self driving a bus would be simpler, as unlike cars, they have mechanisms to change the flow of traffic themselves (some buses have stop signs, plus bus only lanes, bus stops, etc.).

#6Tough to tell what this is really saying from this side of the paywall, but it certainly doesn't fit the current narrative in the tech industry.
On the other hand, in looking for a new crossover SUV this year, I was surprised at how many of the pieces of autonomous driving the 2017 Ford Escape actually had in production. It's not as headline-grabbing as autopilot for sure, but perhaps it's a relevant approach.
I've been pretty bullish about Volvo's approach (and put the brakes on that SUV search to wait for the 2018 XC60), so it's a little disappointing to see them relatively far down that list, while VW/Audi, which I see as weaker in these areas, gets a better position.

If you log in it just tells you the price: $3,800.

#9Anyone have more insight into how Uber is competing here?? They're lidar tech is currently tied up in a $2B lawsuit w/ Waymo and it looks like there are a few smoking guns. Perhaps the report is trying to make a consultant-like case but bottom line is there aren't a lot of autonomous vehicle cos out there today and Ford/GM can make noise (if they want to) since they have mature manufacturing capabilities

the report just seems like a money grab and not necc. making a good case for any company or putting a tight criteria around the output
