Indeed. But give it time. Wasn't self-driving cars "years" away just 3 years ago? Things can move fast. I would say "things can move fast when needed"..but I'm not sure how much need there was to drive the race for self driving cars besides the general interest from the public.

Level 4 autonomous vehicles are still years away. Level 1 - 3 cars can't legitimately be considered "self-driving" in any real sense.
