That particular car, the smart car, isn't a great example anyway. The mileage it gets is only a few clicks better than I get with a Ford Escape Hybrid. I think that car will continue to have a hard time selling, unless it gets far better mileage than regular cars.
And your first sentence makes my point - we need other technologies to grow up quickly.
Hard time selling? I read that there's a 1 year waiting list.
