>We've had steam power, electricity, computers (and I probably forgot something)

from wikipedia, there were working industrial steam engines in 1712. The railway system in the US was started in about 1827 (over a hundred years later), and completed around 1900, about two hundred years after the technology was introduced it was useable by business owners and passengers.

Edison showed the first working electric light in 1878, it seems most people had electricity of some kind by the 1930's.

We could say personal computers were invented sometime in the 1970s, and maybe by today-ish the majority of people in the US have a computer of some kind (though that may be becoming more smartphones than computers)

I would say theres a pretty distinct trend of technology getting adapted more quickly at scale over time.

Do you honestly think the market capture rate of self driving trucks will be similar to that of steam powered engines and boats?
