There is still massive hype with autonomous cars, so take every headline and divide by 10, maybe more.
Insurance: A frequent trope is to claim that insurance companies will stop insuring regular cars because they will be relatively less safe. Never mind that classic cars without airbags are still insurable, and that the current average crash liabilities will not suddenly spike because some of the cars are now less crash prone (your rates might actually go down!).
Ownership will become a thing of the past!: Everybody loves the smell of a well used taxi, right? A lot of people keep half their life in their cars, between car seats, golf clubs, spare clothes, and god knows what else. Not owning your own car is going to stay without some major cultural shifts. Sorry, not gonna happen. How about never being able to backpack from a cell-free trail head? How do evacuations work in emergencies like a hurricane? Want to sit in your driveway for a couple minutes mashing a touch screen to get the darn thing to go EVERY FRICKING TRIP? How about never being able to easily pick the parking spot you want ever again?
Manual driving will be outlawed!: Again, see Insurance. Nobody takes away keys until you are a repeat drunk driver or have crashed multiple times in your old age. Laws and habits don't change overnight, not even over decades.
Old cars: How many of your 15+ year old electronics still receive security updates? Imagine the legal snarl of a 15 year old AI car on the road. Can your car be banned for lack of software updates, or security holes that easily let hackers crash you? Can manufacturers disable your car if the tires are sensed to be too bald, or an oil change is overdue? Can a car be banned because its control software interacts badly with another brand's software resulting in frequent crashes? It gets messy, which is why so far most sane companies have shied away from promising personal ownership any time soon. Fleets of well maintained and frequently updated cars is the only way to control for these types of variables in the medium term.
My advice: Follow the money. If companies can eliminate labor costs they will try to do so. Personal commuting costs companies nothing. So look for autonomous long haul trucking, taxi services, and food delivery to be the first wave. Next look for it to come to high end luxury cars where almost all features percolate down from. Maybe in 20-30 years you will be able to get affordable Auto-Drive capability on your Honda Civic, but not in the next decade for sure.
Set expectations: The difficulty of getting autonomous cars to the 100% level is astronomically hard. While developments so far are damn impressive, they still rely on a capable driver to take over when the map deviates from the conditions encountered, such as in construction zones. Many US roads are in bad repair, so expect a lot of frustration for early adopters who will find themselves beeped at to take over far more often than expected.
