Futurology

I look at the car market like this: imagine you're a bright young thing, just graduating car engineering university and setting off for the bright lights of car maker boulevard.

You get 2 job offers, one is to work on cars which most governments around the world are going to ban from sale in 7-12 years time, which is about one fifth of your career. The other offer is to work on the cars which will take over from those.

Which job do you take?

Sure, the internal combustion cars will get people working on them, but not the best people, they will go elsewhere.
