I have worked for one of leading self-driving software companies. I think self-driving is now going through the same tech curve as all new tech out there: we have passed the peak of inflated expectations (it will work everywhere, cars won't even have steering wheels), have gone through the the trough of disillusionment (crashes, moral dilemmas, companies going bust or merged due to expensive research not yielding enough fruits) and is now in the slope of enlightment: limited release of limited functionality. Self-driving is essentially an insurance problem: instead of the drivers, the car brands (or their OEMs) need to assume responsibility. This is probably not going to fly with the current car pricing model.
