You don't know that.  There were inventors in the 19th century that got 
their inventions bought or shoved aside so the oligarchy could stay in 
power.  There is no way of knowing what we might have if it had not been 
for their interference.  For one thing many cities might actually have 
practical and  efficient  mass transit.  But no, there was too much 
money in selling people cars that became obsolete in 10 years or less.
