The results show that Mobileye, Waymo, Baidu, and Cruise rank among the top four, and are considered leaders in autonomous driving. They all perform well in terms of execution and strategic ability. Mobileye dominates the vision-based ADAS market; Waymo has extensive testing data and experience; Baidu has a strong presence and cooperation network in the Chinese market; Cruise is supported by giants such as General Motors.

Motional (co-founded by Hyundai Motor and APF), Nvidia, Aurora Innovation, WeRide, Zoox, Gatik (a California-based startup), Nuro, and AutoX were named as contenders, who have advantages or potential in some areas, but need to further improve their competitiveness.

Autonomous A2Z (a South Korean autonomous driving startup), May Mobility (a US startup backed by Toyota), and Pony AI were named challengers, with significant room for improvement in scale or technology.

IT House notes that Tesla is at the bottom of the list, with a score of only 28, and is the only follower on the list. The report points out that Tesla relies too much on its "fully autonomous driving" software package and does not really achieve L4 level autonomous driving functions. Tesla also lacks the willingness to cooperate with other industry players or regulators. In Guidehouse's 2020 and 2021 rankings, Tesla also ranked at the bottom for similar reasons.
