Honestly I don’t care either way because cars aren’t the future but no I do not think self-driving cars will be the majority anytime soon.
The sky will be full of truly autonomous vehicles long before autonomous ground vehicles will be mastered, it is the hardest category to pass off to a navigation AI and yeah I am completely unimpressed by current iterations of self-driving cars especially given how much the CEOs pump up the capabilities while ignoring reality.
What will happen is cars get harder and harder to crash with more and more assistance, but the idea of fully self-driving cars outside of limited fixed routes is a pipe dream and worse it distracts people from thinking about more transformative transit technologies. I am sure there will be a smaller number of approved fully autonomous driving routes but the further you go down that road the more you are just reinventing mass transit in a less efficient fashion.

Good points.
