Living in Silicon Valley, there are MANY self driving cars driving around right now. At the stop light the other day, I was between 3 of them without any humans in them.
It is so weird when people pull self driving cars out as some kind of counter example. Just because something doesn't happen on the most optimistic time scale, doesn't mean it isn't happening. They just happen slowly and then all at once.
15 years ago they said truck drivers would be obsolete in 1-2 years. They are still not obsolete, and they aren't on track to be any time soon, either.
