I highly recommend anyone here to watch the four-part presentation "The Great Transformation: The World in 2030" by Tony Seba. Especially the third part is right on topic; including a cost analysis for the US.

Part 1 - Patterns of Change, Key Technologies & #PhaseChangeDisruption
Part 2 - The Disruption of Transportation (EV+FSD enables TaaS (Transport as a Service) and will be 10x cheaper than owning a car)
Part 3 - The Disruption of Energy (Solar/Wind/Battery will be ~70% cheaper than today; and will replace any other source of energy)
Part 4 - The Disruption of Food & Agriculture (Precision Fermentation will have replaced livestock in ~ 12 years)

Sadly "Full Self Driving" is a long way off as it has been proven to be a NP-hard problem. We'll automate away intellectual labor long before driving will be automated away.

It is a P vs. NP problem? That's fascinating. Can you turn me on to that? Any info? I'd love to know more.

you are driving through a residential neighborhood at the speed limit and you see a ball bounding across the road in front of you, the ball bounces to the other side out of the path of the car, what do you do?

A self driving car would go on as if nothing happened because it would determine that a collision is not going to happen. An aware person would slow down and look for a child chasing the ball.

How long is the series?

It seems awesome and I have put it on my list, but I'd like to know the overall time commitment.
