I'm not sold that we'll really see truly autonomous auto anytime soon, but setting that aside the real money a tech company as an automaker (you'll still be driving a BMW or a Chevy), nor will it be Tesla, but rather a bunch of suppliers. That has never been Apple's game and they won't be a player. OTOH, QNX is a big reason to be hanging on to my BBRY stock. Players like Aptiv, Bosch, Autoliv, Magna, Valeo, etc are going to be the big winners. Given their strength in enterprise cloud services, MSFT and Amazon are going to be important. Apple can noodle around the idea of building an autonomous vehicle all it wants, it was never going to be player in this space. Alphabet might be because their business model is more suited to it, but my money's elsewhere.
