For the second year in a row the Navigant Leaderboard Report on Automated
Driving Vehicles has created a bundle of controversy by ranking establish
automakers higher than Silicon Valley tech companies in the race to
autonomous vehicles. This week Navigant's Senior Research Analyst for
automated vehicles, Sam Abuelsamid, joins the Autonocast to explain how he
came up with these often-misunderstood rankings and why factors beyond the
technology itself are so important. If you've ever wondered why GM and Ford
rank so high on Navigant's leaderboard and companies like Tesla rank so
low, be sure to give this episode a listen.
