uber and Volvo. That's Volvo, traditional car maker, licensing its tech to Uber.

True, and that's why I said "and Volvo". To be fair, Uber is definitely contributing to development with the data collection aspect of it. They've also been converting Fords with the same tech, ironically.

In any case, my point (beyond my frazzlebrained first comment, please forgive me for that one) is that Ford certainly isn't the frontrunner with its tech, winner notwithstanding. The article is saying generally that the automakers have won, but I'm not convinced it's that cut and dry. We're seeing a lot of automakers setting up to become losers too.
