The interest in self driving cars is much higher than in EVs for the general population. EVs even with two hundred mile range models coming out; I hope to get a lease on a Bolt by next Spring; will still have more limitations than people will accept. Even if the limitations aren't that burdensome it will take time for people to understand that. Still they will see 200 mile range and half hour or more charging versus the 300 to 600 mile range that petrol cars use. Automation has so many more payoffs than electrification that I think its a better investment in the short term. The lives than can be saved, the freedom offered to those who cannot drive for varied reasons, and the fuel savings as well, all conspire to make automation the next big thing.
