But unlike electric cars it does things that aren't available in some other form. With EVs you have the option of using good ol' internal combustion cars. There isn't a petrol powered AI fallback. This is less like the introduction od electric cars and more like the introduction of the automobile 100+ years ago. Once an affordable option became available adoption was swift.
The main thing is that humans don't like expending energy. If they don't have to walk they will pay handsomely to drive. Thinking is the biggest drain on calories something like a quarter of our daily budget. People are intellectually lazy for important historical reasons. Do you really want to bet against mental sloth?
