> They currently don't seem to be winning, but that does appear to be their main gamble.

So who do you think is winning it?

In terms of usefulness, right now, not Tesla.

At some point there will be a research breakthrough in ML with models that can extrapolate physics which is the current thing that is missing from self driving being actually good.

At that point Tesla is going to be the winner without a doubt because they have the hardware and data to train en masse and deploy to cars.

This assumes their HW is capable enough to run that algorithm. This remains to be seen.
