To your point on 7: Fully autonomous Electric cars. I predict we will have electric cars widely available by 2030, IFF car manufacturers stop trying to make them autonomous at the same time. Consider the Chevy Volt [1]: it's just an electric car. It does not include any autonomous capabilities. Furthermore, electric charging stations will be more common. Existing gas stations will have charging stations added, or they are abandoned all together and new charging stations (maybe "refuel" stations) will be built. The world surely needs electric vehicles sooner rather than later. This will help climate change due to reduced emissions from vehicles. However, I don't think the autonomous part will be figured out by 2030. I predict progress will slow. More government oversight will be applied due to the 737 MAX issue [2] and self-driving cars killing people [3][4]. Due to these issues, general distrust in computer-driven-machines (airplanes, cars) will increase. People will go back to non-connected / offline / "dumb" devices, including and especially their vehicles.
