Well regardless of your social inequality concerns.... lots of companies are doing massive hiring and have large teams (in industry, not academia) to do this and launch it before 2020. The technology has been known for decades, but advancement takes some time. Maybe the first vehicles won't be fully autonomous (society sometimes wonders why science doesn't take a quantum leap forward, but realistically they take small steps in between big steps forward) but the eventual goal will be to automate the process as much as possible. The first 90% is the easiest, each 1% thereafter gets harder and harder.
