Your post is so silly why need to respond. No one needs to predict anything. The future is now. You probably are a moon landing denier. Everything is fake news. Nothing has really changed since the 1920's. Sure.
I agree you shouldn't respond because you are looking more and more foolish each time you do.
You should go hop over into the Automotive Forum and read all the self-driving threads and see that a vast majority of posters don't believe self driving will be thing for at least another 20 years, if not longer.
Anyone who thinks it will be twenty years has not been following.
20 years ago was 1998. In 1998, touch screens hardly existed outside of narrow applications, we were still using windows 95 , smart phones, WIFI , router, tablet, were words known to few outside direct involvement in tech.
The web was mostly niche and DUDE you were getting a DELL.
laptops were for the rich and for those with a solid business case.
20 years from now , not only will self driving cars be everywhere, so will bots and AI.

If your driverless car runs a stop sign or a red light how will the police be able to pull it over? Who gets the ticket? Is the programming company the one who has to have insurance? Can you be a passenger/owner of the driverless car and be completely intoxicated? I know this is mostly moot since none of this is going to happen any time soon.
Times change and new opportunities open up. We no longer have travel agents but the world survived. I would love a driverless car and it will open up markets with people replacing their cars the way they did their huge tube televisions. More cars built, more cars financed, more cars sold. Maybe more people are mobile than before such as seniors. People should not fear advancements. Mobile phones are now standard but no one is crying over the rarity of the land line.

Back in the early days of computers IBM had the software to create computers for the masses but did not see the obvious. Bill Gates did and created a tech empire. Then Apple saw the future of turning a powerful computer into a phone and turned that into a new tech empire along with google and Microsoft badly missed the mark on that.
I am really surprised that so many posting here assume some really slow transition into self driving cars. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were able to pull off huge technological advances with relatively small amounts of money compared to what is being spend on AI research and development today. We already have the products and technology to get cars on the road today and to assume it will take another 10 or 20 years to make that final step is ignorance. The companies that make that final step will be the next empires in all this and they are not going to wait long to achieve it.
