### Comment:
there is a world outside of public companies dude. private companies still have R&amp;D issues, or else there would be autonomous ubers and jaguars all over the fucking planet by now. besides, if GM or intel was killing it in autonomous driving, they would still see benefit in their earnings and stock pricing.

### REPLY:
Yes, but we can only peek at the financials for public companies. 
  
 GM and Intel are profitable companies, Tesla is not.
