The current technology capacity is the showstopper and always will be. Technology works for humans not the other way around. Nobody will adapt our society to conform to self driving cars. It just doesn’t make sense....
I.e. a "paradigm shift". These things take time, from inception to maturity for adoption, regardless of tech. Usually about a generation: that customers and voters be mostly people born with the idea as an "almost reality" (after PoC, before mass adoption), that's what it usually takes to raise the S-curve.
Cars themselves weren't accepted or desired by most people years after their appearance, it took time to change minds.
But in some cases, it was much faster, like the web or mobile phones. I just hoped this would be a case of that.
