The invention of the car is an early example of disruptive technologies.

Explanation:

The technologies that successfully break a certain long-running trend to start another successfully can be termed as disruptive technologies.

Disruptive technologies are often more efficient than their older alternatives and that is why they are deemed as profitable.
