These stories have created fear and persuaded many companies to stick with outdated solutions long after they’ve outlived their utility.

Some once thought that level 4-5 automation was a handful of years away (the estimate has now been revised upward to 15-20 years). Others believe that innovation will center more around vehicle drivetrains (swappable electric batteries or lightning-quick charging) and infrastructure (smart highways).
