Your statement skips past what else I said, to follow the money. If it works without breaking into the red, they'll do it just to have a leg up on the competition.

I stand by the statement as originally written. The automakers are not in the business of building cars. They are in the business of making money. Building and selling cars is just how they achieve that.
Automakers are in the the business of doing both, and you are both right. If and WHEN it becomes profitable to bring such a viable innovation to the market, the automakers will sell it as an innovation.

Meanwhile, we automotive pioneers can tinker and experiment with our cars and explore experimental ideas that are proven or unproven - either to our benefit or our detriment.
