Umm, that’s my point? Apple and Facebook’s competitors don’t just give the entire market to them insisting their products don’t work even after they’ve proved the business model. They would be dreaming of competing in an industry where the competitors simply unilaterally disarm themselves, which is what the auto industry looks like. And the most likely reason the auto industry looks like this is because the people who work in it, including the engineers, are largely auto heads who love the sound of a roaring engine, etc. That’s why it took an outsider like Tesla to show them that people actually prefer silent cars, for example. And yet Tesla’s competitors are still unwilling to heed the evidence of their own eyes.
