Whatever the time frame on self driving cars, it will be years going through the approval process. Hell they do not even have the metrics drawn up to judge when something can be approved.
Education is being automated but the system is not. A lot of protectionism in that realm. It is regulated, government funded which means politics, and monopolitic.
I would say the university system moves a bit quicker than the primary level.

Aren't there already self driving cars on the road? I've read there are uber like services where the owner isn't even in the car and there is only the passenger, I think it was Waymo.
As for education, a lot of students were forced to study at home during the pandemic. I think the system can just as easily be automated. Private schools can easily implement this early on. I remember Harvard has online courses that one can take at their leisure.
That was local approval on a geofenced technology. The NTSB has not taken it up and with good reason: the tech doesnt exist.
How long will it take before they approve it on all highways across the US? My guess is it will have to happen elsewhere first.

Most education takes place below college and in the public school system. 100% the government.
And even universities have to substantiate the high costs of tuition. They cannot do that with online courses.

I'm not familiar with the geofenced technology. Is it hard to implement it nationwide? All I'm thinking is, it is already working in that location, with the speed of software improvement, it can be implemented to other locations soon.

I've seen government take budget cuts on education, so this will definitely help them. There are less and less teachers because of low pay, and unruly students. This can deal with the staff problems, and just have 1 teacher in a room for all subjects to deal with anything that requires human intervention.

Online courses have very little cost to the university. The way it works is that those that complete it need to apply and pay for a certificate from the university. It is actually easy money for them, since they didn't have to do anything. They can keep the high costs for courses that are in demand. Major courses also need lab and practical work so they won't lose the tuition.
