That would be a really long time. Like, not in any of our lifetimes. I expect it would be like the introduction of the automatic transmission, except there will likely be a lot more pushback. Lots of people (like myself) would prefer not to give up our control to the car.
Plus there's a lot of things that make complete autonomy unlikely at this point. Will all cars be connected to a cellular network? What about areas that are out of range?
