Self driving cars are on the road. Any two people on Earth are able to trustlessly transmit value between them using Bitcoin. You seem cynical.

Google still can't reliably figure out that an email from jpm0r4ncha$e telling me how much money I've won is spam. Once they nail that down, then maybe I'll step inside one of their self driving cars. Until then, I'll laugh at the video where the Tesla flattens a child-sized mannequin.
Any two wallet addresses are able to. That doesn’t mean the people are. By abstracting the actual process of getting and using the Bitcoin on both ends you’ve lost all actual real world detail.

…and they can still lose it all to typos or fees permanently.
