RE: AI Take The Wheel!
I think ultimately it has to do with control. I think people and industries don't like giving up control and that drives a lot of this. I like the idea of electric cars, but over here in the states the infrastructre isn't there to support the huge distances we have. My bad for assuming you don't live in the states. I think if I lived in a big city and I didn't travel too far outside of that circle then it might make sense. My wife and I drive a half hour to work in a small town and a half hour back each day. Given it is a small town, charging stations aren't that much of an option. I really like the idea of hybrid vehicles where the battery charges as you drive.

In fact, my parents also live a long way from a big city, so there's no way to recharge the car.
But in their house, there are solar panels and a super tesla charger (which you can buy in addition to the car). This is really handy, because it means you can have a supercharger at home.
The hybrid car is a good compromise, I think. And it's just crazy to be able to recharge while driving. Of course, it's not going to fill up the car's battery, but it clearly limits recharging times afterwards.
I imagine that in a few years' time, these recharging technologies will be even more powerful. There are crazy discoveries being made every day when you look into it.
It's a pity that in the media, we mostly talk about the war between the anti-electrics and the pro-electrics.
