The government regulatory standards could be so tough that there would be no real quality differentiation between autonomous car vendors, as all vendors would have to meet the same incredibly high standards of safety. An outcome could well be that both Tesla and Google both meet the high government standards, but in doing so they've had to create such high performing autonomous systems that the consumer can't tell the difference. They both work equally perfectly because they have to be to be allowed on the road. If this is the case then the autonomous system becomes a non-factor in the purchase of a car. Either you're in the market for an autonomous car or you're not.
