the "standards" will come as the customers find what they want the most.
automatic car transmissions are now the "standard equipment, much to my dismay...
remember Bias ply tires? some people have never SEEN a bias ply car tire.
the Beta VCR had studio quality images, but was Expensive to produce and Sony held onto the licensing too tightly.. try and find a Beta player now... even VCRs are getting scarce, eh?
DVR away, world.

the e-motor will move toward a mid configuration, the threaded Bottom Bracket frame will be the "Standard" attachment point design, torque link attachment points will be added to frames, and the charge plug design will migrate towards the most popular style...
See: Tesla Charging Stations.

remember the GM cars with the gas filler under the rear license plates?
there were several steep hills near my childhood home... we'd wait for Mr. McKnight to fly up Parkhill Dr., then light the trail of gas.... Wiamea over in the Palisades neighborhood was the best place for that game... 250 yards of WAY too steep.... we'd wait until the sun went down...... patience, OOOO, OOOO, YES!!!! Here Come a Chevy!!! wait, for, it... he's clear! KAAAA-WOOOOOF!!

The City finally rebuilt Wiamea with roundabouts and an angled intersection into the road at the bottom... the guy in the home at the bottom had placed multi-ton boulders in front of his 6 time rebuilt garage..... the three old fir trees weren't enough protection in the winter... the cars always found their ways through..i bet those trees still show the battle scars...
their Standards changed.
