If they can successfully enable fully automated self driving cars, then I think the value is entirely justified. See FaceBook.

I bet on self-driving trucks instead. They can go like 95% of the way via highways driverless, only accepting a driver to drive it through a city to a loading ramp, and maybe to a pump midway a very long trip. Drivers will not disappear soon but will provide local service.

Having a driverless car which can navigate through a city would be great, but it is a much more complicated problem to solve.

Is there a good asset to buy to bet on those?
I wish I knew! There are a few, and different experts suggest different winners.
If they can pull that off and patent it and get a cut of everybody else doing it or block them from doing it at all then the price is justified. Otherwise they'll just be some tiny volume auto maker.
Narrator: they can't.
Well, to be fair, I hate driving. So if they do, I'll buy one. Simple as that. I'm waiting!
