Sorry, I'm just not seeing the draw

So you're comparing a touch bar, which has already been done before and met with the exact same pushback, to a radical new form of transportation? Fanboy alert.

This is the next Apple Watch in the making.

>This is the next Apple Watch in the making.

So, a product that went from non-existent to being the #1 sold item in it's niche, the #2 in overall watch sales, and outsold competitor smartwatches 10 to 1, becoming a multi-billion dollar thing?

And all that in it's first 2-3 years (it took more for the iPod to become ubiquitous from its 2001 introduction), and while not of course being expected to become the next iPhone anyway...

Yeah, some failure.

No, I am making the observation that most users are conservative and resist change, even for the better. And that most people can't recognize progress even if it hits them in the face.
