Jay Leno had the opportunity to drive the Audi RS7 against the self-driving version at Infineon Raceway in the latest Jay Leno's Garage. He beat the SDC by about 0.8 sec.

Read an article about Volvo also jumping into the SDC development fray. It also appears that Ford has opened a SDC development center here in Silicon Valley near Tesla's corporate offices.

The race is on for the lead in SDC development.

On the horse/buggy versus the automobile there was utility: more people could travel further and faster in an automobile. SDC's seem to be more about convenience than utility.
