  • Google had the most investment in autonomous vehicles of any Big Tech company.
  • VSI Labs said “no company has more in the game  than Google (Waymo) with massive fleets, deployments, investments and software expertise.”
  • Google’s Android operating system was widespread in cars, with a Berylls analysis showing that within a few years of 2020, Google’s  smartphone mirroring extended to some 80% of global car sales.
  • Waymo, formerly Google’s self-driving project, which became independent under Alphabet in 2017, was in talks in June 2021 to raise as much as $4 billion to accelerate AV efforts. In 2020, Waymo tested self-driving trucks in New Mexico and Texas.[1]
