Could the transition to alternative transportation be hindered more by social resistance than technical challenges?
Thank you for your interest. What you're asking about it the Overton Window.
Quote:
Overton window
The Overton window is the range of subjects and arguments politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time. ... The key to the concept is that the window changes over time; it can shift, or shrink or expand. ... The term is named after the American policy analyst and former senior vice president at Mackinac Center for Public Policy, Joseph Overton, who proposed that the political viability of an idea depends mainly on whether it falls within an acceptability range, rather than on the individual preferences of politicians using the term or concept Continued in Wikipedia
What is acceptable changes over time. The Kraft durch Freude Wagen becomes the Meyers Manx.

"...reducing our carbon footprint." You're right! That's what a silicon based life form would say.
