    I can easily do 800km (500mi) with one tank with my car, 65L tank (17 gallon) on cruise control at 100km/h (63mph), as you are talking MPG, 500mi with 17 gallons make 29MPG, a lot of car can do this especially on the highway.

    > Because they have limited range, take too long to charge

    Mostly this, right, trying to do a 1600km (1000 miles) trip in an ICE vehicle? I can do it with just 2 tanks of gas in 16h. However with an AV? This would need a station where you can swap your depleted batteries for full charged ones. Maybe one day this will exist at enough places?

    This, I'm a Gen-X, and I have 0 second attention for ads, be it on TV or internet. I started "surfing the net" in early 90s when there was no ads, and now even on some "news" webpages where 75% is ads and the article is 10 lines, my attention goes on these 10 lines and 0 on the ads. After reading the paragraph and closing the tab, if someone asks me what were all the ads in the top/bottom/left/right columns, I would have no clue.

    Not in the next decade, but now.

    30 years ago I wanted things like "networked thermostat or blinds or whatever", it was called domotic, it was on an intranet and it seems cool, but very expensive.
    Now there is a lot of connected devices (some still $$$) but there is no way I want my devices on others people servers (clouds) with poor security and closed firmware.
    And you know what, finally, we don't need IoT, I don't need my washer/dryer on the internet, I can close my blinds myself too.
