Please. They're not even close to dying.

And they are doing exactly that. VW alone already has $86bn spending committed to its EV lineup.
You associate the existing manufacturers with a Blackberry/RIM situation, but that is simply not the case.
This is more of an Apple/Android type of situation. Apple triggered this paradigm shift, and dozens of others (Samsung, Motorola, etc.) followed suit almost immediately.
Sure, it's going to take existing car manufacturers a few years to catch up. Just as it will take Tesla a few years to ramp up production to competitive numbers.
