Elon has always been super optimistic and I think that's okay. In fact, that might have been one of the reasons for their fast progress. But yes, technology requires its own time to get assimilated into the human society. For instance, even if the tech is ready, the regulators would have to approve it and that might take even more years. So, I think that fully self-driving cars where humans don't have to do anything at all will take at least 5 years (from a tech and legal perspective)

Agreed, quite true all around. Elon's optimism and determination reminds me Steve Jobs back in the day, rest his soul. They both can be a bit of a pushy arse at times, but their visions have no doubt brought great things. Regulators would have to do their best, and that also includes people's confidence in wanting to use self-driving tech in the first place. I think 5 years is a good time-frame to see this adoption.
Totally agreed! :)
