Hands-free cruise control that requires the driver to watch the road and shut it down when something unusual happens, and leaves all liability on the driver for using it, almost certainly. Driving on urban streets in a snow storm during rush hour, while I nap in the back seat? No way.

Current prototypes driving cities and highways without major issues, it took around decade to get there.
Only if you believe the hype, and don't look at what these cars are actually doing.
