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.

Time will tell.
I wasn't saying who, when or how, just that the autonomous car will be a huge market disrupter when/if it happens. I really don't think AAPL will be that, but I don't believe anyone expected them to enter the cell phone market and achieve what they did, so there is still a chance.
