I'm not super concerned at this point about which automaker has the best self driving technology, because we don't yet have an automaker with good enough self driving technology, it's all still a work in progress.
The first implementations of fully autonomous vehicles won't be sold to private consumers, they'll be fleet vehicles serving robotaxi networks, they'll be geofenced, and they'll require a fair bit of troubleshooting and maintenance.
Should we have a competition to see who offers the best robotaxi service? We will, and it will play out in the real world.

They're always trying to figure out which company has an advantage over competition. They want to know before it plays out in the real world, if possible.
