> big data and ML
Became a big thing after Amazon predicting someone is pregnant before they know it, hype died off after actual implementations predicted that people drink coffee in the morning.
The hype died but those with actual use cases are using it.
> blockchain
Became a big thing after it made crypto millionaires, died off after people figured out that it doesn't help with anything other than gambling and illegal operations because its not better at anything that has an established legal infrastructure
The hype died but people still need the gambling and hope to be rich on the next hype cycle by jumping on something like NFTs.
> autonomous cars
Tesla, although never delivered the thing they promise, it was able to propel them to the top as a car company. Now Tesla is a serious brand.
Mercedes actually delivered autonomous driving car you can purchase and others actually were able to offer self driving taxi services but nobody seems to care that much. For some reason, Musk won this one without actually delivering it.
