I think your prediction ignores the historical trend of incumbents ignoring incoming paradigm shifts to their peril.

  In this case the incumbents are investing heavily in electric cars and various forms of autonomous driving.

    In terms of the electrification, in each case I keep seeing that the dealers are using it to check a box, but sales will push you away from them. They mostly seem to look like compliance cars. If you're seeing differently, I'm interested in links.

      Most compliance cars are made by taking an existing model and shoving an electric motor under the hood and a battery in the trunk, e.g. the Fiat 500e, or those electric Toyota RAV4s that are owned by pretty much every public university's maintenance department in California. They generally have poor range and very attractive monthly lease payments. The Chevy Bolt was designed from the ground up to be an electric car. It competes favorably with the Tesla Model 3 in most areas (except styling...) and you can go buy one today instead of joining a waiting list. The Honda Clarity and Nissan Leaf are other examples of cars specifically designed to be electric.
