Breakthrough or just showing presence?

On Conexpo all main suppliers for 3D paving systems have shown their presence on several machines. Does this appearance show how important 3D paving is for the future, or does it indicate a clear trend towards to 3D paving. The clear message is: 3D paving have steering capabilities. Unclear is how efficient a system will be when still a surveyor on site is needed to keep the system under control. Which price will be acceptable for such a system. What is the expected timeframe until such a system must pay back?
