Technological progress can follow an exponential curve. It doesn't have to. Which is why we're still using the same basic pacemakers that were invented in the 1950s. Nothing better has been invented for people who have the sort of heart conditions that require pacemakers.
Yeah, you're right, it's more of an S-curve for any particular technology. But I doubt we've seen the climax of brain-machine-interfaces.
I hope not for the sake of paralyzed people and the like, but I wouldn't trust an Elon Musk company to be the one to do it.
