I’m involved in the electric industry. What seems inevitable is that in time all major urban centers, and perhaps major highways, will transition to automation. That is, you may drive your car manually to the city and/or highway, but once you get to a certain point you’ll have to surrender control to a traffic system to which you will provide your destination and it will then take control of your vehicle and optimize it along with all other vehicles to get you where you need to go. There are major potential privacy issues with this, but the promise of lower overall energy usage and reduced congestion that can result from such an optimized system is likely to overwhelm this concern (and, of course, we could make it so that individual car data is anonymized and deleted after a certain time period if we really wanted to protect individual privacy).
The question is how quickly will this happen? Definitely more than 10 years away I would say, but what about 30 years?? Hard to predict.
