I would counter that by the car companies that reach self driving are going to leave the others in the dust.
We see how hard it is to achieve self driving vs build a car. The market forces for self driving will be huge over any car manufacture no matter how good if they dont have this technology. Who wants to drive if you dont have to. What trucking companies want to pay for drivers when they dont have to.
Software will be a, even 'the', defining variable in the car industry soon enough.

You can't just use a couple 2D cameras and think you'll software your way to success. Humans use a lot more than just their vision to drive. Tesla is making a mistake in thinking they can just throw some relatively cheap cameras on a car and throw software at the problem. Spacial awareness from only 2D images in fantastically hard and extremely error prone. A reliable FSD will need ranging/detection sensors (RADAR/LIDAR), inertial sensors, image sensors, and external sensors like GPS and likely coded road signage. Software is obviously a component of FSD but not the only one.
