How is billions every year on R&D not enough, especially when you measure consistent improvement year over year in the technology?

10x energy dense does not mean 10x safer. Gasoline is still widely used because it is considered one of the safest options around!

The problem is more nuanced than just "let's do all the battery density"

maybe you are right . I was thinking a world where battery improvement is the rate as chip performance improvement ,

Comparing how those technologies improve is apples to oranges.

Transistor manufacturing as we know it today started in the 1950s. Lithium battery tech as we know it started in the early 2000s.

Not only is there a massive difference in time spent on each tech, but the engineering disciplines involved are completely different from each other.
