Last time I checked, people want to get from point A to point B with their cars, which are as cheap as possible.

Staggering amount of regular citizens all over the world does not even know that their car can already park itself using USS or have a cruise control, let alone how to trigger that function.

Tech is irrelevant to most of users, because main goal is to get to destination. Everything else are decorations on a Christmas tree. However from some reason tech bros likes to overplay importance of tech.
