Assume 60 million cars produced each year, 10% with Google autonomous driving software and sensors, with a $1,000 per car licensing fee. That's a $6 billion per year business with very high margins.

If net margins are 50% and this division commands the same multiple as Google itself, then the division would be worth about $100 billion. That's about 25% of Google's current market value.

Today, there's talk of Uber being a $200 billion company[0]. Google Ventures is an investor in Uber, and if they could combine the autonomous vehicle tech with the Uber network, what would that be worth?
