Self-Driving Cars 「自動」車

Although we saw a self-driving car video footage by Google last year, and this May the State of Nevada approved a licence to the company to test self-driving vehicles on the public road, the industry seems still skeptical about its near future.  Has anybody seen similar cases concerning a new technology where the incumbents remain skeptical only to be driven out by the entrants from a totally different industrial sector?

Google による「自動」車のヴィデオが紹介され、5月にはネヴァダ州は同社に公道上で「自動」車をテストする免許を与えたが、業界関係者は実用化に懐疑的なようである。今までに、新技術の可能性に懐疑的だった既存企業が、全く異なる産業からの新規参入者によって駆逐されてしまったという似たようなケイスを思い起こされる読者もあろう。
