As far as I know, there is no self-driving in Europe at all. No Tesla, no Waymo, no nothing.
Will Europe fall behind with self-driving like it did with the internet?
There are a similar number of cars on the road in Europe and the US. About 250 million. I wonder how much they are driven? Maybe one hour per day? That would be 250M*365 = 91B man hours per year. If we value an hour at $20, that is $1.8T per year which can be automated. That is about 10% of the European GDP. Plus many other benefits of self-driving cars, like more public space because fewer cars are needed, and they can park outside the center.
And they don't offer that in Europe.
