Waymo can just license the tech and sensor suite to manufacturers and make money off that. They don't need to actually build and sell a million Waymo vehicles.

Yeah this is ultimately the case Waymo are in the lead, if you imagine the only way this happens is if eventually one organization gets the hardware/software/dataset/patents that makes full self-driving possible and they will license it to everyone else, then Waymo is the most likely candidate.
