Report: GM and Waymo lead driverless car race; Tesla lags far behind

The report that the article cites is behind a paywall.

This piece seems like a hit piece on Tesla.

>Navigant actually ranks Tesla dead last, alongside Apple, out of 19 companies.

>The larger problem, though, is that Tesla just doesn't seem to be making progress as rapidly as others in the industry. Tesla's attention has been consumed by the extremely slow rollout of the Model 3—Tesla delivered a paltry 1,550 Model 3 vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2017. And Tesla's Autopilot division lost a number of key engineers and managers last year.

I am not a Tesla fan but Musk's ability to get people to drink the Koolaid is extremely impressive.

What I mean by this, is that people not only want his product, they are willing to wait for it, even if it is late and or there hiccups along the way. His ability to get people to buy into his vision is outstanding.
