Depends on whose. The Waymo ones do remarkably well. Other makers aren't nearly as good.
10 years sounds shockingly short. My impression is that the average car lasts about 20 years. Lots of older cars still on the road.
Not a chance of that happening. Too many groups in the mideast want to kill their neighbors or impose their version of religion on everybody else. Way more likely to end up with a bunch of places that have flipped oppressor and oppressed but are just as bad as they were
