I wonder how much company size impacts the ability for auto manufacturers to innovate. Seems like (in general) the larger a company is, the more slowly they innovate. Tesla has ~3,000 employees while BMW has ~100,000 according to wikipedia. Perhaps that means that Tesla can move much faster and will be able to out-pace the larger auto manufacturers?
