We'll have self-driving cars in the next decade.
Disregard that this has been true for over a generation.
By the time self-driving cars are a thing available to the average person, we need to have already fundamentally changed our urban design to one that doesn't put the car at the center. For reasons of city financial sustainability, for environmental reasons, and for general "multi-modal cities are better to live in for nearly everyone" reasons. The cool thing is, the more changes like these we make, the easier and safer it will be to design self-driving cars. Safer roads are safer for everyone, even robots.
