This right here is in my opinion inevitable.I think we're going to see a lot more super-fast electric cars on the road, and self-driving cars as well. It's too hard to predict what will happen to individual companies though.
Steve Jobs came out with the IPod around 2000. CD's stopped being the music medium. Around 2008, Apple came out with IPhone. There have been touch screen devices before. But the iphone revoltuionized the industry. Flip Phones are almost obsolete.
Even though Wall Street hates Tesla(because they haven't turned out a profit), they're still leading the way in terms of innovation. The other companies have been trying to copy Tesla this past decade.
When SpaceX came out, scientists thought it was unrealistic but at the same time they were excited because somebody is finally doing something about space for the first time in 2 decades. After the Falcon 1 rocket launched, Boeing and Lockheed Martin partnered up. Few years later, Richard Bransons created Virgin Galactic and they're launching SpaceShip One and SpaceShip Two for Space Tourism. Jeff Bezos is now doing Blue Origin.(They stole some employees from SpaceX lol) SpaceX is winning in terms of Government contracts. Falcon Heavy rocket with the Dragon Capsule finally made a successful dock on the ISS.
Moore's Law states:
Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years.
Meaning computers will just continue to get faster and faster.
The Automotive Industry has changed so much since the days of Henry Ford. Back in the 80's Toyota completely changed how car companies manufactured vehicles. Tesla is trying to do the same thing.
What happened to Blockbuster? They never adapted to the market. Netflix is now king and people are cord cutting.
Ed Catmull in Creativity Inc explains how Disney was having a difficult time for a while because they never adapted to change.
It is the future that we will have self driving electric vehicles whether the public likes it or not.
