China's electric vehicle and car manufacturing industry is rapidly overtaking the U.S., threatening Detroit's traditional dominance. Tesla and Waymo, focusing on advanced self-driving technology in Silicon Valley, remain key U.S. competitors able to challenge China's rise.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Tesla and Waymo’s advanced driverless tech is your last chance to stay relevant as China's car makers scale fast. Move quickly to integrate or partner with Silicon Valley tech before you lose critical ground.
