The inertia of urban planning is measured in decades, while that of the technologies we are developing today is measured in quarters or years. It makes sense why the market logic dictates the fervor for EVs, since market dynamics are inhere

The very premise that a single company should have as a goal to "win in every market" is problematic to its core. Can you justify this premise and how it relates to your assessment of Google?
