And the other question is why would auto makers want to sell or sacrifice their production capacity so they Google can kill them? Also, there are soy many regulations and safety rules in the industry, if they can't abolish them (with perfect tech/lobbying) old automakers will win.

> And the other question is why would auto makers want to sell or sacrifice their production capacity so they Google can kill them? Good point, but I think there are many ways to make this work. Two ideas: 1. Contract with a small/failing auto manufacturer who has little to lose (e.g. Mitsubishi). 2. Work with a manufacturer to build vehicles and also license them tech (Chrysler and Honda are interested [0]).
