Autonomous driving has been in the news quite a bit lately, with Tesla launching its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. While I think Tesla is a great pick in this space, there's one that I like more at the moment. That's Alphabet (GOOG -0.27%) (GOOGL -0.22%). Alphabet is known as the parent company of Google, but it also owns Waymo, the undisputed leader in autonomous driving right now (at least in terms of deployed footprint). Alphabet is my top autonomous driving stock, and investors can essentially acqu ...
