Problem is that, especially with the automakers, is that a lack of competition becomes an excuse to not invest in innovation. For example, General Motors is throwing billions into stock buy-backs, when they probably should be throwing that into EVs.

Competition doesn’t really exist anymore. Instead, via regulatory capture, the big players simply change the rules to exclude competition.
