Sweet! Want to go on Stewart Brand's Long Now web site and make a wager? :-)

I can't imagine a case where autonomous vehicles aren't the default in
2025. People are just too slow, too inattentive (and getting worse),
and too drunk at times to drive cars as safely as a good computerized
system.

And yes, I agree with BillK that initially it will be something the
driver initiates when he feels comfortable.
