The arrival of autonomous vehicles will trigger the auto-industry’s largest shake-up since its inception. While Google is the most talked-about player in the space, we identified 25 other major corporations or corporate brands using CB Insights’ investment, acquisition or partnership data that are involved in the driverless car space. While some players are setting up funds to invest in new technology involving autonomous cars, others are trying to build self-driving vehicles from the ground up.

The list is organized alphabetically (autonomous industrial vehicles were not included in this analysis).
Some of the automotive brands below are part of the same parent organization but as they’re pursuing their own autonomous vehicle ambitions, they are detailed separately.

We have now updated the Driverless / Autonomous Vehicle manufacturers activities - The latest list can be found here >>>
