I believe solving level 5 self-driving is equivalent to solving AGI -- i.e. it's "AI-complete".
In that case, there will be a lot of other things to be excited about besides self-driving -- it will basically be the equivalent of aliens landing on Earth.
Also, while I agree "ever" is a long time, "a matter of time" doesn't tell me very much. That is, wouldn't surprise me if it were 100+ years away, in which case there other things we should be talking about instead.
