The technology on the car side of things is probably less than 5 years away but you can't really drive an exclusively self driving car unless the entire road network, at least on a city basis, is compatible. Then you also need to overhaul the legal side of things and you need everyone to be able to afford them cause you can't ban the entire lower class from buying human driven cars.
The world where every car is self driven, bumper to bumper like has been suggested, even if we're just talking about Canada, is probably not going to happen in our lifetimes.
I'd be shocked if there was even a "self driven" lane in Calgary in less than 20 years.
