As Roger Smith (former GM CEO) famously said " we don't make cars, we make money." It seems that same limited vision has made GM and others do silly things- like the SUV.
The same GM that was found guilty of conspiracy in buying and dismantling public rail systems in post-WWII America, put up a mighty (and successful) fight against increasing CAFE values or raising gasoline taxes.
With the huge number of astoundingly bright engineers at hand, visionary leadership could have brought us amazing products and made America a better place. But, they chose otherwise.
