Smart Engineers are rarely smart product/business strategists. They start with developing a technology and then try to convince prospective customers that it is the cure to their biggest problems. VC seemingly throws some money in hopes that the nerds will develop some IP that they can sell.

I had a conversation with a CMU graduate who's pretty fresh out of school. She's absolutely convinced that soon there will be autonomous flying vehicles because the real problem with autonomous vehicles is that the roads are too crowded, and so putting them in the air will fix everything.
