The only logical outcome is that the big car companies continue to build the majority of cars when (if) self-driving cars are ready for the mass market. Waymo is not going to build millions of cars a year like GM and Ford and Toyota. Big car companies can buy startups in the self driving space, which is what GM did with Cruise. Or they can license the software from Waymo or other companies who are working on it. Self-driving software can be just another thing car companies buy from suppliers, like transmissions and brakes.
