Or they just figure that making battery cars is not going to be a high-margin business (Apart from waymo, they dont seem to have plans for a bigger car), unlike self-driving software which is what Google is doing well.
- mdorazio 10y agoGood point. But to be fair, regular mass market cars are a very low margin (percentage-wise) business today as well, at least on the sales side. EVs just cut down on the long-tail profits to be had from ongoing maintenance and parts replacement.
