Autonomous Driving Race Turns on Architecture, Cost, and Deployment
Bloomberg’s Tom Mackenzie frames the autonomous-driving race as a contest between systems that work now and systems designed to scale later. In Bloomberg Tech: Europe, he contrasts Waymo’s mapped, sensor-heavy safety stack with Wayve’s end-to-end AI model, while executives from BYD, Einride and Vay argue for other routes through vertical integration, autonomous freight and remote driving. The central question is not only which technology can drive, but which architecture and business model can win regulatory, customer and fleet trust at scale.
