Serious question: Why not acquire Tesla and position yourself leaps and bounds ahead of the other tech giants?
- 0xbear 9y agoBecause Tesla is a money losing, capital intensive business they don't know how to run. See e.g. their Motorola debacle.
- killjoywashere 9y agoI rather seriously doubt Elon is selling Tesla.
- Salgat 9y agoHe owns 22% of shares.
- gordon_freeman 9y agoMaybe because Google's self driving tech is fundamentally different than that Of Tesla's. Tesla relies on sensors and vision based system whereas Google relies on LIDAR. So I don't think they'd able to integrate the Tesla's self-driving tech into Waymo in any ways.
- tybit 9y agoI think while the technical differences could be resolved the biggest blocker would be cultural. Musk has been super aggresive in rolling out more and more self driving features, where as Google and everyone else seems to be much more cautious.
