The first autonomous vehicle crash will make international news. People don't like new things, even if they are safer overall. The first Tesla fire caused a panic, even though they are safer than gasoline cars.

Both portable cell phones and PDAs existed 10 years ago. The smartphone was a logical extension of those paradigms. AR Glasses (for lack of a better term) are still very young.
