Uber I can understand. But Amazon and Alphabet have bigger names to protect.

Also, how much AI knowledge does NVidia actually have? They are big in computing hardware, not sure about AI.

Why do you feel this is safer? Although Volvo labeled its autonomous vehicle endeavors “Intellisafe,” with the goal of making Volvo cars “deathless” when the company fully rolls them out, WayMo has over 3 million driven and is the most maturw automonous platform.

Perhaps Volvo vehicles are the safest in the event of an accident, but the major benefit of a self deiving car is avoiding accidents altogether

I worked in the industry and I feel the same. For existing car companies the question is if they have somebody with enough power to shift the resources in the right direction. For newer companies they are already heading in the right direction but if they treat this as just software, move fast and break things, we will release a patch etc. then they are more likely to turn the users against self-driving cars.
