Robots driving fork lifts... just isn't a product feature that is a consumer benefit... rather than something which will probably scare the hell out half of the people.

But, the point is that dismissing the lack of consumer appeal generated by the "whole package" with a "technical explanation"... doesn't matter.

Most people... probably don't care about the robot story...

They need to want the thing...

And, if they don't, they don't... which makes the rest of the change required in adoption... far worse.

Hybrids don't seem to suffer from the same issues... that have them focus on "pushing technology" as a solution to the intrinsic inconveniences the new carries with it as baggage, instead of meeting consumer needs... even though the technology itself is probably just as foreign to most consumers ?
