I'd guess by 2030 or so they will be a widespread global phenomenon. By that point, self-driving cars will rapidly be replacing most driving jobs too.
That is a terrible guess, and it isn't even remotely close on the scale of decades.
What if AI Doctors as good as humans were nearly free & every human on the planet had access to their expertise. Surely, that is something to go on strike for - not against.
What if you read too many scifi novels with AI while ignoring how politics were changing in the real world and have willingly mistook a vehicle of brutal class war (that has a MASSIVE carbon footprint) being used by the ultrawealthy to force everyone back into feudalism as a magic technological savior of our futures?
Do you realize how easy of a mark people like you are? You got played hard.
The only reason self driving cars are legal on US roads is we actually hate pedestrians as drivers in the US and we don't really give a shit about traffic safety.
There are actually two ways to make a self driving car.
make a self driving car that can be trusted to drive around pedestrian filled environments and not kill them (this option is extremely hard with literally infinite edgecases)
dehumanize pedestrians culturally and legally to the point that the bar for safety becomes a bludgeon to beat them with, then sell a broken self driving car
No, you are living in a fantasy land for babies where your lazy deeply flawed visions of the future are more important than the blazing reality tearing everything down right now as we speak :)

No. It's based on how technologies are adopted, which tends to follow an s-curve.
Level 4 self-driving cars are already on the road in China & the US.
Lol, yup and it is going so well.

I don't understand the corlation between hateing pedestrians (fully agree) and the self driving car

which do you think tesla is choosing?
