I know I'll get downvoted for this, but I'm virtually positive that Cruise was just snake oil. I expect GM to trail other automakers in this area, particularly after this acquisition. Now, to be fair, that is pretty much the null hypothesis since GM trails in a lot of areas. But, I view the Cruise acquisition as a confirmation of -- not a rebuttal to -- the notion that they are far behind and will fail.

Of course that would get you downvoted. You said you're positive about something a little bit controversial and provided no observations that your view could be based on. What objective evidence is your view based on?

> I know I'll get downvoted for this Please don't break the HN guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) by going on about getting downvoted. Your assessment was also off base, because unsubstantive dismissals (which your comment unfortunately is) routinely get lots of upvotes, alas.
