Self-driving technology isn't Detroit vs. Silicon Valley

An Uber self-driving Ford Fusion sits at a traffic light on Beechwood Boulevard and waits to turn onto Fifth Avenue in Pittsburgh. Among the tenuous notions that have sprouted amid the fervor for autonomous vehicles is that Detroit and Silicon Valley are entwined in a titanic battle for supremacy. What is occurring is a very positive cross-pollination between two hubs of innovation. It is not a zero-sum game in which one industry will win and the other lose. There will be winners -- and occasionally losers -- all over the map.
