My guess is 15-20 years for this attitude shift. We'll start seeing offerings from a Chinese electric car company based out of California within the next decade.

Exactly, reverse engineering, the Japanese used to do that better anyone. They would take a competitor's car apart and learn from it and try to copy it ot improve on it. Its human nature, why do it again when its already been done.

Why can't American car companies do this?
Seriously. I drove 2 different GM rental cars over the past holiday. Total crap. World's most un-ergonomic control layout. And, hands down, the absolute DUMBEST cruise control system in the world!!
My Lexus has the same stubby cruise-control stalk that my mom's Camry does. Why? Because it works...beautifully.
