    The internal combustion engine is fundamentally unchanged since invention, so is the electric motor, both well over 100 years old too.

    And personal automobiles are still fundamentally the same as a horse driven carriage: four wheels with a box on top for seating and sheltering from weather, and a driver in front for steering. The first mechanically driven carriage even predates the bike by more than 200 years.
