Smartphones are more ubiquitous and versatile, sure. But they aren't technologically as advanced as a self-driving car that directly competes with ICE vehicles and can be powered from completely renewable sources. Jobs gets tons of respect from me for giving a fuck about UX. And because of the smartphone revolution, he'll get most of the fame. But he didn't go up against an industry as established and conservative as the auto industry (that has entire laws prohibiting factory-direct sales just to prop up prices and keep sleazy dealers in business!) and actually win. (inb4 pedantic remarks about TSLA's balance sheet: I say Tesla "won" because the auto industry has to take them seriously now; I see their cars everywhere. They weren't just a startup that had "an idea" and sold a few demo models and quit). Smartphones are everywhere, but they were coming one way or another as manufacturing permitted lower power consumption, higher battery output, and faster CPU/more RAM. Jobs knocked it out of the park because he cared about the UX which is imperative for mobile.
