I guess using history as a guide it might be like self driving. We mostly believed it was right around the corner in 2012. Lots of impressive driving.

2025 were so close but mostly not quite human level. Another 5 years at least

we're not even close right now. Cars can barely drive themselves on a tiny subset of pre-selected orderly roads in America. We sort of have driver assistance on virtual rails. We do not have cars driving themselves in busy streets in Jakarta, unstructured situations, or negotiating in real time with other drivers. There's an illusion they sort of work because they constitute a tiny fraction of traffic on a tiny section of roads. Make half of all cars in Rome autonomous for a day and you'd have the biggest collection of scrap metal in the world

And that's only driving.
