You are talking about autonomous features...but a truly self driving car, defined as:
“The vehicle performs all safety-critical functions for the entire trip, with the driver not expected to control the vehicle at any time. As this vehicle would control all functions from start to stop, including all parking functions, it could include unoccupied cars.”
Absolutely will not happen in the next 5 years - or the next 100, quite frankly.
“there will be a mass produced luxury driverless vehicle on the market within 5 years”

I’ll start my countdown clock, modeled after Rush’s Algore doomsday clock.
I GUARANTEE that will not happen - if for no other reason, regulatory hurdles in each state will take longer than that to overcome.
It absolutely will happen. Truthfully it already HAS:

the only question at this point is can we do it to production cars for less than $2000 and not make them ugly.
Go ahead, start the clock. Heck shave a year. When self parking cars hit I predicted self driving would be in production by 2020. And I stand by it. Remember, THEY’RE ALREADY OUT THERE. Millions of miles driven on America’s roads by self driving cars already, and a car available to consumers (which I won’t call a production car because Tesla just doesn’t move enough units) that’s a good 90% there.
Frankly, you’re already wrong, you’re just not paying attention to the information.
