It seems likely that the self-driving technology will progress and be more readily available — unless something catastrophic happens (family of four die as autonomous car careens into hospital and kills an entire emergency room full of patients-level catastrophic).

Then that would be the end of that.

Electric and I hope not self-driving.

There are few things more scary to me than the idea of trusting a computer to drive me around in dangerous conditions, or the possibility of being killed by either a driver AI bug/malfunction, or a computer car being hacked.

If you think one family of four careening into a hospital is bad, consider an intentional hack that causes hundreds of thousands (or millions) of cars to all go berserk at the same time, all around the world.

Monorail technology is rampant in Europe and will most likely surface hee in the western world as well.

They will not look much different from cars today.
Rounded boxes with 4 wheels, doors, seats, and even steering wheels, because I am certain that self driving will not be advanced enough in 10 years, that regulations would not require the ability of the passenger to intervene and retake control of the vehicle. I severely doubt they will even advance enough to allow for fully autonomous driving at all.

I think similar to today.

It would be nice if the US gets some more options that are less expensive.

It would be great if hybrids had even longer range and more competitive prices and able to drive with no gas at all.
