Actually neither of those things are obvious to me, AI seems over hyped and the head of Waymo has stated that ubiquitous self driving cars are 30 years away. Although perhaps I'm just getting a bit cynical in my old age.

Any source on the 30 year thing? They already have test cars driving around with no one in the front seat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPfC9Yfsjd8&t=2m40s) and it seems there will be both intense competition to grab market share and also a push from regulators to reduce the present 1.25 million road deaths per year.

Ta for the link though that talk was over two years ago and things have moved on. Personally I'd be surprised if it took that long.
