The prediction is:
> First driverless "taxi" service in a major US city, with dedicated pick up and drop off points, and restrictions on weather and time of day.
Their 2025 analysis is: "This is unlikely to happen in the first half of this century."

I know of plenty other automation that needs to be tickled or rebooted periodically to work, that most would still say works automatically. Maybe he has a very narrow or strict definition of ‘driverless’. That would explain the “not in this half of the century”-sentiment. I mean, it’s 25 years!
