I still beg to differ... The shape of cars is even changing... We have Cyber trucks coming out, we have several EV trucks coming out - battry tech is improving, engine performance is still improving, fuel efficiency is only being attacked for political reasons - It's pretty cool that a Jeep - a brick on Wheels has several options of efficiency and power that are major improvements from just a few years from - from a 4xe hybrid to a turbocharged engine to a diesel option. Airplanes? There is a really good Nova episode on the electric race - we're nearing an electric age with airplanes even in commercial aviation - In the next 5-10 years we'll probably have the short hops covered by quiet electric planes - that innovation isn't necessarily paced by science, but by safety, engineering and certification - things we don't want to shortcut since humans are involved in these systems. Hell.. we've been dabbling with autonomous cars too and driver assist and lane assist... I can go on and on
