Do you have a source for tens of billions? Did you confuse market cap for spending? I can't find any good sources, but that seems like an order of magnitude too much. They just raised $3bn (the vast majority of which is presumably not spent), and piecing together other sources indicates Google put in a couple billion of their own. This article claims they've spent $3bn on R&D: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a30857661/autonomous-car-s... Google's approach requires a lot of mapping, yes. But they mapped damn near every road in the important markets to pursue maps, an opportunity two orders of magnitude smaller than self driving. If their cars and software are both ready, the mapping won't be more than a small roadbump. |
