The one sentence that caught my eye:
> Automakers may be big, lumbering, and risk-averse, but they are not
stupid.

Well they sure stand-in-line to copy each other's race to the ugliest
GRILLS every seen since the Edsal.  Is it just me or is the trend now in
gas cars to see who can make the biggest and ugliest grill possible?

Since EV's hardly need them at all, I wonder what the ideal front end of
an EV will look like when we grow out of Grill Chrome as a decoration?

Tesla has a start...

I tend to think he's right.

I also think that the first long-haul trucking company to adopt
self-driving rigs will thereby become the dominant force in that industry.

Sure feels like we're at the cusp of a phase change, when all sorts of
little things add up in a big and surprising way.
