Something to think about is, not who has the technology, but who is using it.

 lets just take drive by wire for example... they've been using those from back in the 70's and GPS from back in 89-91 "not sure" also there's the internet from NASA remember those videos from "the moon"???but for the general public, military technology will only be available after like 30+years... unless they declassify the technology, only then will it be available for consumer/manufacturer use... |

whats crazy about auto manufacturing is that people are all gung-ho about buying domestic vehicles, but soo many "american" cars arent even made in america anymore. i believe ford's fusion and other cars is made in mexico, and a bunch of chrysler cars are made in canada. meanwhile, japanese cars, like the camry, are being made here. i could really care less about "patriotism" when it comes to buying a car, cuz when it all comes down to it, it's all about dollars and cents...

Keep in mind that "not shiny and cool looking" does not translate into "way behind."
