National security concerns are likely to prevent any single autonomous vehicle company, such as Waymo or Tesla, from achieving global dominance. Many nations will prioritize domestic control over their transportation infrastructure, intentionally sustaining local competitors to avoid total reliance on foreign-controlled technology. This geopolitical friction ensures that a diverse landscape of global players will survive regardless of whether such fragmentation is economically efficient. Ultimately, the future of the autonomous vehicle market may be shaped more by international protectionism and sovereignty than by technological superiority alone.
