One does not become a billionaire by being dysfunctional. Eccentric sure, but not dysfunctional.

Reply to Driverless cars and electric cars being displayed as the pinnacle of future transportation engineering is just… wrong. Car-based infrastructure is inefficient, bad for the environment and we already have better technologies in other fields that could help more. An in depth analysis by mocha_sweetheart
Various industries are so entrenched in established interests that it's no wonder we only even take ultimately worthless half measures forward, call it progress, only to stagnate in reality. Electric cars and Wind/Solar farms are another great example where instead of just jumping over the intermediary technologies, we have to stop and pause for a decade because some stands to make a lot of money by having the industry not go directly to more efficient options.
