Disagree, mostly because those who provide said technology are actively trying to shape the market in a direction they want both good and bad. Tesla tries to convince you that one of their cars is the ultimate in (whatever), meanwhile rewind some years and big auto pushes the idea that SUVs are the ultimate in fun vehicle letting you go off road, explore places you've never been, and ultimately be awesome... net result vehicle fleet efficiency takes a nose dive to levels seen in the 70s, the market was already accepting of more efficient cars, but big auto just convinced the market they don't need it.The market is a far better arbitrator of whether a technology is mature enough to be accepted.
